Adjust Water Clarity and Reflection Intensity
Access Shader Settings
Open the shader options menu by pressing the designated key (usually found in your controls or shader menu). Navigate to the Water or Reflections section to find clarity and reflection controls.
Fine-Tune Water Appearance
Look for sliders controlling:
- Water transparency – increase to see deeper into oceans and rivers
- Reflection strength – boost to make sky and block reflections more prominent on water surfaces
- Wave intensity – adjust surface wave detail without affecting gameplay
Test Your Changes
Stand near a large body of water and observe how adjustments affect visibility and reflections. Reflections are most visible when looking at water from an angle rather than directly above. If reflections seem too subtle, increase the reflection strength slider incrementally. For clearer underwater visibility, raise transparency until you find a balance that feels natural.
Save and Apply
Confirm your settings in the shader menu. Changes apply immediately in most cases—no restart needed. Return to the same water location to verify the new appearance matches your preference.
