Enhance Water Reflections and Clarity

Locate Water Settings

In Shader Options, find the Water or Reflections section. This controls how water surfaces render and what they reflect.

Adjust Reflection Quality

Look for sliders controlling:

• Reflection strength: Higher values make water mirror the sky, clouds, and terrain more vividly
• Wave amplitude: Controls how pronounced water surface ripples appear
• Refraction: Adjusts how light bends through water, affecting underwater visibility

Optimize for Your System

Reflections are visually demanding. If performance drops near large bodies of water:

• Lower reflection resolution or distance
• Reduce wave detail
• Disable reflections of distant terrain

For best results, test near oceans, rivers, and custom water features. Reflections are most noticeable during clear daytime and sunset when the sky is bright and colorful.
