# Wavify ## Dynamic ocean and shoreline waves for Minecraft Wavify adds ambient water waves to oceans, beaches, shores, and islands to make Minecraft's water feel more alive and dynamic. Waves are most noticeable along coastlines, where larger swells can roll toward beaches and rocky terrain. Waves may also interact with nearby blocks, creating more dramatic shorelines and cliffside water effects. During full moons, some waves can emit a subtle nighttime glow. **Wavify is client-side.** You can run it on any server without the server needing to install anything. <p align="center" style="text-align:center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Icywhenhot/Icy-s-Better-Horses/26.2-fab/assets/separator.png" alt="" width="663" style="image-rendering: pixelated"></p> ## About This Project Wavify is an independently maintained fork inspired by the original Tidal mod.
