Creating Custom Waterfall Clouds and Ambient Mist

Building Waterfall Cloud Basins

To generate dense waterfall clouds, you must control the blocks at the base where falling water lands.

1. Dig a pool at the bottom of your waterfall that is two blocks deep, filling both vertical layers completely with water source blocks. When flowing water hits this two-block deep source basin, waterfall clouds will begin billowing at the surface.

2. Alternatively, place a block of wool beneath a single water source block. Dropping a stream of water onto a water source that sits above wool triggers the exact same waterfall cloud effect without requiring a deep pool.

Generating Ambient Mist and Splashes

You can also produce drifting mist and droplets to create atmospheric cliffsides and riverbanks:

1. Let water flow directly from a ledge above into water source blocks below. Water falling straight into source blocks produces waterfall mist, filling the surrounding area with a fog or mist ambience.

2. Watch for flowing water droplets along running water paths and rain ripples across exposed surfaces.

3. If you want to disable or tweak mist density, open your configuration options to toggle or customize any of these visual water effects individually.
