Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, navigate to Shaders, and select Radiant Cinematic Water from the list. The effects will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my water look flat or not reflective?
Check your shader settings for water reflection strength and make sure you haven't disabled reflections in the options menu. Increasing the reflection slider will make water surfaces more mirror-like.
Can I use this shader with other mods that change water?
Radiant Cinematic Water works best alone, but it's generally compatible with most mods that don't heavily alter water rendering—avoid combining it with other shader packs or water-replacement mods.
My FPS dropped a lot after installing this. What can I do?
Lower the water quality setting, reduce shadow distance, or disable advanced lighting effects in the shader options. You can also lower your render distance or turn off reflections to regain performance.
