Locate Water Settings

Access your shader options menu (Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options). Look for settings labeled "Water," "Transparency," or "Water Clarity."

Adjust Water Properties

Eclipse Lite keeps water visually simple while maintaining transparency. You can typically:

  • Increase transparency to see deeper underwater
  • Adjust water color to match your preference (more blue, more green, etc.)
  • Toggle reflections if available—disabling them keeps frame rate high

Underwater Visibility

If you're exploring underwater structures or mining, reducing fog distance or increasing water clarity will help you see further. Some shaders let you adjust "Fog Density" separately from water settings.

Performance Consideration

Eclipse Lite avoids expensive water effects like caustics and realistic refraction, so any water adjustments you make won't tank your performance. This makes it safe to prioritize visibility over speed.
