Enhance Water Reflections and Transparency

Locate Water Settings

Access the Shader Options menu and find the water-related section. Quanta Shaders provides separate controls for water appearance and reflection quality.

Customize Water Behavior

Look for options controlling:

• Reflection Strength: Determines how much the sky, clouds, and surrounding blocks mirror in water surfaces. Higher values create more dramatic reflections.
• Water Transparency: Adjusts how clearly you can see through water to blocks below. Increase transparency to see deeper underwater details.
• Wave Animation: Controls the intensity of water surface movement. Subtle waves look more natural than aggressive ones.

Observe Different Conditions

Visit oceans, rivers, and rain to see how your settings affect water in various lighting conditions. Reflections appear most noticeably during sunrise and sunset when the sky is colorful. Test in both deep and shallow water to ensure transparency settings work well across different depths. Adjust until water feels immersive without looking unrealistic for your preferred aesthetic.
