Setting Up Shoreline Reflections
Every body of water in Hearthmist Shaders reflects the sky, clouds, and nearby blocks. When choosing a base location or lining up a screenshot, crouch or stand low beside a lake, river, or custom pond so the water surface fills the bottom portion of your screen. Build bridges, docks, towers, or shoreline trees right along the bank; keeping structures close to the water ensures their shapes mirror cleanly alongside overhead clouds. Hanging lanterns or lighting campfires on a pier at dusk pairs warm bloom directly with those surface reflections.
Capturing Depth Across Hills and Valleys
For wide landscape shots, climb a cliff, mountain ridge, or lookout tower facing uneven terrain:
1. Aim your camera across distant hills and valleys where atmospheric fog settles into low ground and separates foreground builds from the horizon.
2.
3. Lower your FOV slightly in Options for a tighter cinematic frame, press F1 to hide the HUD, and press F2 to save your screenshot.
