Enhance Water Appearance and Reflections

Access Water Settings

Open the shader options menu and locate water-related settings. DERCODE Lite provides dedicated controls for water transparency and surface behavior.

Increase Transparency

Adjust the water transparency slider to see deeper into water bodies. Higher transparency values let you see the ocean floor, underwater caves, and submerged structures more clearly. This is especially useful for underwater building and exploration.

Enable Surface Reflections

If available in your shader version, enable water surface reflections to see the sky and landscape reflected on the water's surface. This creates a more immersive and realistic water appearance.

Test in Different Conditions

Visit various water types—oceans, rivers, lakes, and rain—to see how your adjustments look in different lighting conditions. Water appearance changes dramatically between day and night, and under different sky conditions. Torchlight underwater also interacts with water rendering, so test near underwater light sources to ensure the effect looks natural in your play scenarios.
