While Minecraft’s goal isn’t really to recreate accurate particle effects and physics, a modder wanted to liven up the water and lighting elements in the block-building game
Going by the name of Sonic Ether, the modder built the Unbelievable Shaders mod, which adds reflections and shaders to the game, making the water and lighting appear more detailed.
“This poorly recorded video is meant to demonstrate the advantages and drawbacks to the technique that I developed to trace water reflections in screen space,” Sonic writes.
It’s not perfect, he notes, but “the overall effect is pleasing and looks vastly better than the solid blue blocks that were vanilla Minecraft’s water.”
Minecraft players can download the mod from Sonic Ether’s Facebook page, although he mentions that it isn’t bug-free and should be installed with caution.
