simple performance shader i made when i was bored :) it makes the water beautiful, whilst still keeping vanilla lighting. GREAT for performance.

adds beutiful water, whilst keeping EVERYTHING else the same. has great performance. you can change refraction, reflection, opacity, etc in the settings! i used to be OBSESSED with realistic water in shaders when i was a kid (classic adhd XD) but couldnt even run the HIGHEST performing shaders, so i know i would've LOVED this back then :)
