Access Water Settings

Shader Options contain dedicated water controls. Silva Pro enhances water with improved color and subtle animation. Look for water-specific sliders controlling wave intensity, color saturation, and reflection quality.

Adjust Wave Animation

Water surface waving adds life but can be distracting. Reduce wave frequency or amplitude if the motion feels too strong, or increase it for more dynamic appearance. Changes apply instantly to all water blocks.

Control Water Color and Clarity

Adjust water saturation and transparency settings. Deeper blues and greens feel more natural, while desaturated water looks murky. Experiment to match your preferred aesthetic.

Fine-Tune Sky Colors

Silva Pro improves sunrise, noon, and sunset colors. Separate controls often exist for sky saturation and hue. Increase saturation for vibrant skies or decrease for subtle, muted tones.

Balance Sun Glare

The sun can be bright and distracting. Look for sun intensity or bloom controls to reduce glare without dimming the overall sky. This keeps sunsets beautiful while improving visibility.

Preview Across Time Cycles

Ensure your water and sky settings look good during dawn, day, dusk, and night.
