Translucent Water

Hi I’m Wildgirl308 and I’ve been playing Minecraft for about 7 Year’s now. I’ve been waiting for update aquatic to come out and when it finally did I was so happy. I went to build a fish tank and filled it up with gorgeous colorful fish, but when I looked to see the fish I couldn’t see them, quite frankly I couldn’t see anything but blue water. I would like the water to be more translucent so that you can see the fish. Thanks for your time and effort, or should I say Tank you.

    Another question is what is your graphics settings?  When I first updated I was dismayed to find water surfaces to be opaque.  But then I turned fancy graphics back on and the water is now translucent.

    Great suggestion, clearly needed. For bedrock edition I would suggest translucent/clear water when above sea level.

    Maybe make the water darker if there is a lot of it, and more translucent if there is just one block.

    i think a big part of the problem is that the water texture displays on the sides of transparent blocks that are next to water (Glass, slime blocks, etc.) This is why its often much easier to see things in the water if you are in the water with them, rather than looking through glass at them. If this were changed, i think fish tanks and views from underwater bases would look a lot better.

    Maybe make water more translucent behind glass?

    Try turning on fancy graphics I'm pretty sure that fixes it

    This is sooooooo annoying I think it might actually be a glitch cause I've seen people playing other versions that have much clearer water i always experience this bug on my switch idk what you have it on but I wish they would fix it

    I think it would be neat if it was based on how much water you are looking throught, but that starts to become more complex shading, but yes I agree

    Esta idea es muy buena! Porque la agua no es azul solo es el reflejo del cielo y no tiene sentido que sea azul!!!!!

    Maybe it could be that a single water block is 5% opaque, if there’s a another water block near it, it adds another 2% and will make the water block (in this case both) 7%. All the way to its current opacity.? But idk it may be laggy to calculate for low-end devices

    Yes! Without shaders I cannot see anything underwater and I have changed all my graphics settings
