About this Mod
Before vs After Water (fog density fully configurable)


Before vs After vs Fully Clear Lava (Fog density fully configurable)



Let's you see through lava or water with configurable densities/opacities/transparencies
Fog in lava/water is configurable in config/seethroughlava.json5 with config documentation at https://github.com/spoorn/SeeThroughLava/blob/main/config-documentation.json5 or in your game menu if you have ModMenu installed. Mod is only required client side.

Conflicts
- This mod is incompatible with Optifine - it won't crash, but the fog levels won't change
- Origins is also invasive in changing the fog code. I've been keeping up compatibility with Origins, but if you are having trouble, try removing Origins and seeing if See Through Water/Lava works again, then please submit an Issue with your Origins version and See Through Water/Lava version so I can try to fix it
- This mod is incompatible with Sodium Extra which overwrites the fog code so See Through Water/Lava won't apply
