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 :)
