Access Water Settings
Open Shader Options and locate water-related adjustments. GlacierShaders typically includes options for water clarity, reflection intensity, and wave behavior.
Adjust Water Clarity
- Transparency: Increase to see deeper into water bodies, revealing underwater terrain and structures
- Color Tint: Modify the water's hue to match your world's aesthetic—cooler tones for fantasy, warmer for tropical areas
- Caustics (if available): Enable or adjust underwater light patterns for added visual depth
Customize Reflections
If reflection settings exist:
- Increase reflection strength to make water more mirror-like
- Adjust reflection quality based on your performance—higher quality looks better but costs more frames
- Test reflections at different times of day; they're most noticeable in bright conditions
Observe Changes
Visit a large water body—ocean, lake, or river—to see your adjustments in action. Move around and watch how light interacts with the water surface. Try adjusting settings during different times of day and weather conditions to ensure water looks good in all scenarios. Fine-tune until the balance between clarity and performance feels right.
