Enable Full Water Features

Lunaris Shaders' water system is one of its core strengths. In the shader settings menu, locate the water section and ensure reflections are enabled at your preferred quality level.

What to Expect

Water surfaces will display clear reflections of the sky, clouds, and nearby terrain. The water surface animates with smooth, realistic wave motion that responds to the environment. Surface reflections are most visible when looking at water from a low angle—stand at the water's edge and look across rather than straight down.

Optimize for Your Setup

If reflections cause lag, reduce the reflection resolution rather than disabling them entirely. This preserves the visual effect while lowering the performance cost. Transparent water blocks (like in aquariums or decorative pools) will show these effects most clearly.

Best Viewing Conditions

Water effects shine brightest during clear daytime and sunset. Visit oceans, lakes, or custom water features you've built to see the full impact of the shader's surface clarity and wave animation.
