Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Water Alpha Shaders after installing it?
The mod activates automatically once installed—water will immediately show waves and reflections in your world. If you don't see the effects, check that your graphics settings have shaders enabled and that your GPU drivers are up to date.
Why does my water look flat or not reflective?
Reflections depend on your render distance and graphics settings; try increasing render distance or enabling higher graphics quality in your video settings. If reflections still don't appear, your computer may not meet the performance requirements for this mod.
Can I adjust how transparent the water is?
Yes—look for water transparency or clarity settings in the mod's configuration options, usually found in your config folder or in-game shader settings menu. Lowering transparency makes water more opaque; raising it makes the underwater world more visible.
The waves and ripples are too intense. How do I tone them down?
Check the mod's configuration file for wave amplitude or ripple intensity settings and reduce those values. You can also lower the overall shader quality to reduce wave complexity.
