Inspecting Water Reflections and Environmental Scene Depth

Checking Subtle Water Reflections

Unlike shaders that apply heavy, mirror-like distortions to liquids, CREEP Shaders includes subtle reflections across water surfaces. This keeps bodies of water visually grounded while complementing the pack's mysterious aesthetic.

To verify that reflections are working properly:

1. Travel to an open body of water, such as an ocean, river, or swamp biome.

2. Position your character along the shoreline and angle your camera toward the horizon.

3. Look across the water's surface to observe the subtle environmental reflections blending with the water texture.

4. Walk or swim into the water to confirm that underwater visibility remains clear and functional.

Evaluating Scene Depth Across Terrain

CREEP Shaders enhances the three-dimensional feel of Minecraft worlds by adding scene depth through precise shadow boundaries:

  • Block Outlines: Walk through hilly or forested terrain and inspect the edges where blocks meet. The pack creates clean, sharp shadows along block faces that help terrain features stand out.
  • Mob Shadows: Approach passive or hostile mobs in daylight. Notice the distinct, sharp shadows projected directly beneath and around them, grounding entities realistically into the environment without sacrificing vanilla charm.
