💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no need to worry about load order.
  • Test it on a nearby river or lake first to see if it works as expected; if you have other water mods, check for conflicts.
  • If you're using a controller, remember it's Left-Trigger instead of Shift.
