Improve Visibility While Mining Underwater

Maximize Your Underwater Mining Setup

Water Vision Mod automatically enhances your sight underwater, but you can optimize your mining experience further.

Use the Enhanced Lighting

The mod increases light levels beneath the surface, making it easier to spot valuable ores and navigate cave systems. This means torches and other light sources become more effective, and you'll see ore veins from greater distances. Take advantage of this by mining in deeper water where the mod's benefits are most noticeable.

Combine with Other Tools

Pair Water Vision with a Respiration enchantment on your helmet to extend your breath meter. The improved visibility means you can work faster and more efficiently, reducing the time you spend underwater. Consider bringing a boat or using water elevators to position yourself at optimal depths.

Scout Before You Dig

The extended fog distance lets you survey larger areas before committing to mining. Swim around first to identify ore clusters and plan your route. This prevents wasted effort and helps you find the richest deposits more quickly.
