Improve Water Appearance and Reflections

Configure Water Settings

Vignette Low End Shaders smooths water surfaces and adds subtle reflections. These settings help you get the best water visuals without tanking performance.

1. Open shader options (Shift + O)

2. Find the water or reflection section

3. Enable water reflections if available

4. Adjust reflection quality to match your system—lower settings preserve performance

5. Check the water smoothness slider and set it to your preference

Seeing Reflections Clearly

Water reflections work best when:

• You're looking at water during daytime or with good lighting
• The sky is visible above the water surface
• You're standing at a slight angle to the water, not directly above it
• Your render distance is set high enough to show distant scenery

If reflections seem faint, increase the reflection intensity in settings. On very low-end systems, you may need to disable reflections entirely to maintain smooth gameplay.
