See Through Water/Lava

by spoorn

With See Through Water/Lava, the fog over lava and water can be thinned, so the view below the surface stays clear.

What it does

The mod changes the fog that the game draws over lava and water. Density, opacity and transparency can each be set in its config, so the look can be tuned to taste. It is a client-side only mod: players install it alone and servers do not need it. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.16 – 26.2, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Adjustable lava fog

    Lava fog can be made thinner or more opaque through configurable density values.

  2. Adjustable water fog

    Water fog has its own density, opacity and transparency settings, separate from the lava options.

  3. Config screen

    Settings are exposed through Cloth Config, and Mod Menu can open the screen when it is installed.

Questions

Does See Through Water/Lava conflict with Sodium Extra?
