Adjust Water Clarity and Reflection Intensity
Access Shader Settings
Open the shader options menu while in-game by pressing the designated shader menu key (usually found in your controls settings). Look for the Water or Reflections category in the settings panel.
Fine-Tune Water Appearance
REAlite Shaders offers several water-related sliders:
- Water Clarity: Controls how transparent the water appears. Lower values make water more opaque and murky; higher values create clearer, more see-through water ideal for viewing underwater builds.
- Reflection Strength: Adjusts how prominently the sky and surroundings reflect on water surfaces. Reduce this if reflections feel too intense or distracting while building near water.
- Wave Motion: Modulates the intensity of surface wave animation. Decrease this for calmer water or increase for more dynamic movement.
Apply and Test
After adjusting each slider, observe the changes in real-time. Move to different water bodies—oceans, rivers, and lakes may look different depending on depth and lighting. Return to the shader menu to fine-tune further if needed. Your preferences will persist across sessions.
