Optimize Water Reflections for Better Performance

Locate Water Reflection Settings

Access the shader configuration menu and find the water or reflection quality options. Fantasy Unbound Shaders offers adjustable reflection detail levels.

Adjust Reflection Resolution

If you experience frame rate drops near large bodies of water, lower the reflection quality setting. This reduces the computational load while maintaining visible water reflections. Lower settings still show reflections but with less detail and accuracy.

Disable Reflections Selectively

Some versions allow you to disable reflections for specific block types or limit reflections to only nearby water. This preserves the fantasy look while improving performance on older systems.

Monitor Frame Rate

After adjusting reflection settings, visit oceans, lakes, and rivers to observe performance. Check your FPS in areas with large water surfaces. If performance remains poor, consider lowering other settings like shadow distance or bloom intensity to compensate, allowing you to keep water reflections enabled.
