Wavify Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to start seeing waves after installing the mod?
No setup required—waves spawn automatically in ocean and beach biomes once the mod is installed. Just travel to a coastline and you'll see the water moving; if waves don't appear, try pressing F3 + A to reload nearby chunks.
Why aren't waves showing up in my world?
Make sure you're in an ocean, beach, or island shore biome where waves are designed to spawn. If you're in the right location, reload chunks with F3 + A or try moving away and back to the area to trigger wave generation.
Can I turn off waves in certain areas?
Yes, the mod supports disabling waves in specific regions—check the configuration options or use the guide 'Enable and Disable Waves in Specific Areas' for details on how to customize wave spawning by location.
What's the moonlight glow effect and when does it happen?
During full moon nights, ocean waves gain a soft glowing effect that makes them more visually striking. This is automatic and adds atmospheric lighting to your nighttime coastal exploration.
Do waves interact with blocks I place near the shore?
Yes, water splashes and reacts with nearby blocks like sand, rocks, and custom furniture, creating dynamic cliffside effects and making your coastal builds look more alive.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is optimized to run smoothly and fixes crashes from the older Tidal mod, but wave rendering does use some resources—if you experience lag, try disabling waves in distant chunks or lowering your render distance.
Is this mod compatible with other water or ocean mods?
Wavify is designed as a standalone wave system update, so conflicts may occur if you run multiple mods that heavily modify water behavior—test compatibility by running them together and checking for visual glitches or crashes.
Can I use this mod in multiplayer or on servers?
Yes, Wavify works in multiplayer and on servers, though all players should have the mod installed to see waves consistently; server-side installation may have different configuration requirements depending on your setup.
How do I make waves look better in my coastal builds?
Position blocks like sand, rocks, and cliffs close to the shoreline so waves interact with them visually, and build during a full moon to see the moonlight glow effect—refer to the 'Create Scenic Coastal Builds with Wave Interactions' guide for detailed tips.
What should I do if waves look broken or glitchy?
First, reload chunks with F3 + A to refresh wave rendering. If the issue persists, check the 'Fix Waves Not Appearing or Looking Broken' guide for troubleshooting steps, or try moving to a different biome to confirm the problem isn't location-specific.
