Enable and Customize Water Reflections

Open Shader Options

Pause your game and navigate to Shader Options from the settings menu.

Locate Water Reflection Settings

Find the water or reflection-related options panel. UltraVanilla typically groups these settings together. Look for toggles or sliders labeled for water reflections, reflection quality, or similar terms.

Adjust Reflection Intensity

You can usually control how strong reflections appear on water surfaces. Higher values create more visible reflections of the sky and surroundings, while lower values make water appear more opaque. Start with a moderate setting and adjust based on your preference.

Optimize for Performance

Water reflections have a performance cost. If you notice frame rate issues, reduce reflection quality or disable reflections in specific conditions (like during rain). Test by standing near large bodies of water and observing both visual quality and frame rate stability.

Apply and Test

Save your settings and load into a world with oceans, lakes, or rivers to see the effect in action.
