Water Shader Alpha for Minecraft 1.20+

The Water Shader is a mod developed by Necrowizzard and later updated by Superbomb17 up to version 1.6.2 of Minecraft. This shaderpack is a complete rewrite of the mod and brings the mod's water shading style to newer versions of Minecraft. In addition to the mod update into a shaderpack, bugs and issues in the original mod have also been fixed. The mod and this shaderpack use the planar reflection technique to compute reflections on the water unlike most Minecraft shaders that use screen-space reflections (SSR).

Features

• Planar reflection
• Multiple water planes (up to 4)
• Automatic water patch prioritization
• Distortion effects
• See-through water
• Better underwater fog
• Better transluscency
• Better sky & reflection on water
• Necrowizzard & Superbomb17 styles
• Sun & moon reflection in water (WIP)
• Vanilla lighting

Liminations

• Clouds, stars, and particles not reflected
• Performance bottleneck in shadow geometry shader
• MacOS not supported
• OpenGL 4.3 required
• Iris only
