Announcement.
This pack will now focus on supporting vanilla textures, to keep the file size down.
Support for mod textures has been split off into Modernity Adjunct.
Download additional Climate-mapped water color packs:
Format 1 (JE 1.6–1.8) | Format 2 (JE 1.9–1.10) | Format 3 (JE 1.11–1.12)
Remember to put your chosen mapping as priority above Modernity.
Climate Water breakdown / screenshots:
Basic
This pack applies a very simple color mapping that should be noticeable across many biomes.
Water very gradually shifts from the general JE 1.13 color to green-gray swamp at high temperature and humidity, and to deeper blue/indigo at low temperatures.
Very high temp/humidity biomes like jungles have a grayish water.
Strict
This pack's color mapping is similar to the basic pack, except that the green-gray and deep blue water colors only occur when temperature/humidity values are very close to swampland/cold biomes.
The default water color is applied to every unique Temperature/Humidity pairing occupied by vanilla biomes, except for Swampland and the Cold/Frozen biomes.
The result is that the water color looks like the version without this pack everywhere except in biomes close to those T/H values.
Bedrock
Bedrock Edition uses a different water coloration for almost every vanilla biome. This pack sets a corresponding value to each unique temperature/humidity pairing occupied by one or more vanilla biomes. In cases where multiple very different values could be applied (e.g. lower left), I picked the value that made the color map the least blotchy.
Water colors overall seem to be lighter and greener than with the other packs.
Hybrid
This pack tries to unite the best properties of the above packs.
The pack uses comparatively few nodes to allow for gradual blending like the basic pack; it makes higher-temperature climates greener by using Bedrock Edition values for the Mesa in the lower left, Birch Forest in the center, and Jungle in the upper left; and it adds BE's Mushroom Island and puts JE's Warm Ocean in the top-left corner in case any modded biomes occupy that region.
If you opt not to use any of the packs, your water will be the default 1.13 color (pictured using Modernity 3.3.0):
Modernity also updates/adapts/backports textures for many mods, either to adapt their Nether ores to the modern style, or to backport post-1.12 mod textures. I'm not going to list all of the mods here because there are so many. Just download the pack and see if it works for your modset.
Notes:
I also have a Discord server where you can talk about my projects or just hang out.
