Locate Water Settings

In shader options, find the water quality or water effects section. Zepholume enhances water reflections and clarity. Look for controls over water transparency, reflection intensity, and wave detail.

Adjust Water Reflections

Increase reflection strength to make water mirror the sky and surroundings more vividly. This is especially striking near sunset or in bright outdoor areas. Reduce it if reflections feel overwhelming or if you prefer a more opaque water look.

Refine Sky Rendering

The sky section controls cloud detail, sky color gradients, and atmospheric effects. Zepholume softens the vanilla sky for a more natural gradient. Adjust sky brightness to match your preferred time of day aesthetic, or increase cloud detail for more visual interest.

Test in Multiple Biomes

Water and sky appearance varies by biome and time of day. Visit oceans, rivers, and lakes at different times to see how your adjustments look. Sunset and sunrise often reveal the most dramatic changes in sky and water interaction.
