Customize Water Appearance and Reflections

Locate Water Settings

Access the RTUShader options menu and find the water effects section. This controls how oceans, rivers, and other water bodies render.

Adjust Reflection and Transparency

RTUShader offers controls for:

• Water surface reflections: Increase to see more sky and landscape mirrored on water surfaces
• Water transparency/depth: Higher values let you see deeper into water; lower values create murkier appearance
• Wave intensity: Some versions allow subtle wave animation adjustments

Apply to Different Water Types

Changes typically apply globally to all water blocks. If you want clearer visibility for underwater building or mining, increase transparency. For a more realistic, reflective ocean appearance, boost reflection settings.

Test your changes in both shallow and deep water bodies to ensure the effect looks good across different scenarios. The clean water effects are a core feature of RTUShader, so these settings significantly impact your visual experience.
