Access Water and Reflection Settings

Open shader settings and find the section for water or reflections. Ethereal Shaders includes dedicated controls for how water and wet surfaces appear.

Configure Water Appearance

Adjust:

  • Water clarity: Make water more transparent or opaque
  • Wave intensity: Control how much water surface ripples and moves
  • Reflection strength: Determine how much sky and surroundings reflect in water
  • Water color tint: Shift water toward blue, green, or other hues based on biome

Apply to Wet Blocks

These settings also affect rain-wet surfaces like stone, wood, and dirt. After rain, blocks will show reflections and wetness based on your configuration. Experiment with reflection strength in different lighting conditions—high values look striking at sunset, while lower values work better in caves.

Test your settings near water sources, beaches, and after rainfall to see the full effect.
