Mod Wakes Reforged

Wakes Reforged, vanilla style water effects

Wakes Reforged is a Minecraft Java mod that brings subtle movement to lakes, rivers, and oceans without changing the game’s familiar visual language. As entities travel through water, it creates simulated wakes, splashes, and small streams of water on either side. Boats can leave visible trails from their oars, while entities falling into water produce a convincing splash.

Designed for a vanilla friendly Minecraft server, the mod offers extensive configuration options and support for Iris shaders, although some shader combinations may be incompatible. Our BoxToPlay team recommends it for players who want exploration and boating to feel more lively without adding new blocks, items, or mechanics.
