Enable and Customize Water Reflections

Locate Water Reflection Options

In the shader settings menu, find the water or reflection section. This is typically grouped with other visual enhancement options.

Toggle and Adjust Reflections

Enable water reflections if they're not already active. You'll usually find sliders for:

• Reflection quality: Higher settings show more detail in reflections but use more resources.
• Reflection distance: How far the reflection renders. Reducing this helps on lower-end systems.
• Reflection clarity: Adjust how sharp or blurry reflections appear on the water surface.

Test in Different Environments

Visit various water bodies—oceans, rivers, and small ponds—to see how reflections look. Reflections are most noticeable when looking at water from an angle rather than straight down. If performance drops near water, reduce reflection quality or distance. On very old hardware, you may need to disable reflections entirely while keeping other shader features enabled.
