Water Shader Alpha
About
The Water Shader Mod is an old mod created by Necrowizzard and later updated by Superbomb17 that features reflections, refractions, and waving water. This shaderpack is a complete rewrite of the original water shader mod and updates it to a shaderpack compatible with Iris for Minecraft 1.20+. This new shader is more stable, suffers fewer bugs, and fixes issues from the original mod.
