Enhance Water Reflections and Transparency

Locate Water Settings

Open shader options (Right Shift + R) and navigate to the Water or Reflections tab.

Adjust Reflection Quality

Find the Water Reflection Strength slider. Increase it to make water mirror the sky, clouds, and terrain more vividly. Higher values create mirror-like surfaces; lower values keep water more transparent and subtle.

Control Water Clarity

Use the Water Transparency or Water Fog Distance slider to change how far you can see underwater. Increase transparency to spot items and mobs deeper underwater; decrease it for murky, atmospheric water.

Tweak Wave Effects

If available, adjust Wave Height and Wave Speed to make water surface movement more or less pronounced. Gentle waves feel calm; faster, taller waves create dynamic, turbulent water.

Preview in Different Lighting

Test changes at different times of day. Water looks dramatically different under bright sunlight versus moonlight. Visit both oceans and rivers to see how reflections change with terrain color.
