Water Shader Mod


Additional Videos:



When Minecraft was first released to the public, its unique visuals set it apart from the pack. However, as players began to build elaborate and picturesque structures, it became apparent that Minecraft’s graphics were a bit dated. Although this lent them a great deal of “8 bit charm,” many players found these graphics to be somewhat lacking. The Water Shader Mod for Minecraft sets out to improve one of the game’s most visible shortcomings- the appearance of its water.

Since the game passed into its final release state, players have been able to apply texture packs that customize and improve the overall appearance of the game world. Higher resolution tiles allow for rich visuals such as semi realistic grass, rock, wood and building materials. However, no matter how much definition was added to these tiles, the water always came across as pale and flat. Though it had some transparency, it lacked depth and realism. The Water Shader Mod for Minecraft uses 3D shader technology, which is supported by most modern video cards, to give water a realistic appearance.

Anyone who has spent a decent amount of time looking at water, which should include most people, is well aware of how reflective it can be. It is rare to look across a body of water and to be able to see all the way to the bottom. Almost always, light reflects off the surface, creating a mirror image of its surroundings. The Water Shader Mod for Minecraft accomplishes this quite well. However, as we know, water is rarely completely still. For this reason, the mod uses shaders to warp the surface, much like the reflections one would see on real water.

Especially when combined with high resolution texture packs, the Water Shader Mod for Minecraft adds a whole new visual dimension to this game’s graphics.

    Leon Jones It's not my graphics card and I can't run it either. I'm thinking it might only be compatible with a slightly older version of Minecraft. But I could be wrong.

    And Markus Persson (spelling is probably incorrect sorry) aka Notch is NOT RELEASING 1.9 he will be doing small pre releases once a week. On his twitter, he has told fans to keep watching for the next pre release. So probably No mods until after Minecon... might want to stick with 1.8... and have a few times on pre release. It is your choice. Thank you.nnPs I love the water shader mod but my ram cannot render it properly (do not say graphics card. It is the ram, it is to slow so my processor stops the rendering stopping minecraft. I cannot turn this off :( shame as it is I cannot upgrade now.)

    I believe this is compatible with Single Player Commands.....
  13. Leon Jones says:
    Brian Riley oh, are you sure because my error report said that its for 1.8.1 but it said it couldent find a file.
  14. Elliott Goddard says:
    1.9 is not out officially yet, so why waste time making a mod for a pre-release? If you wait for the official 1.9 then the creator can work on a stable version. Maybe add some aspects of the Optifine mod to allow people with lower specifications on their computers and laptops to play.. but with a slight graphics quality lowering. n
  15. Brian Riley says:
    Yes. I do believe it's because the mod may be incompatible with another mod I am using.
  16. Daniel Leinad says:
    This is awesome as! but its a shame I cant play full screen or make the screen bigger that the starting size.
  17. Siim Kork says:
    this is a sweet mod. too bad I ain't got a too good comp :(

  19. Kody Gonzales says:
    it says I ran out of mem. when I load my world :( It is an awesome mod though!
  20. Rowan Waring says:
    Brian Riley You guys have to go into the config file and put 'Anti_aliasing' and 'Reflectiveness' or something like that to lower values... Then it should work. :)
