Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
The mod is enabled by default once installed. Open your config screen (usually accessible from the main menu or pause menu depending on your mod loader) and look for Sunken Topography settings to adjust colors and depth thresholds to your preference.
Why does my water still look flat in some areas?
Water only shows depth gradients where there's actual terrain variation below the surface. Perfectly flat ocean floors won't show color changes—look for areas with underwater cliffs, trenches, or varied seabed to see the effect.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the mod runs entirely on your client side, so you don't need the server to have it installed. Other players won't see your depth-based water colors unless they also have the mod.
Does this mod work with custom biome mods?
Yes, the mod multiplies its depth shading onto existing biome water colors rather than replacing them, so it works alongside biome data packs and custom biome mods.
