Description from the author on Modrinth

In this texture pack I deleted water and lava overlay (under lava and water you will see very clearly). It's imported from vanilla tweaks resource packs, version for 1.20.5 and higher is edited by me (I combined tweaks with the 1.20.5 vanilla file). This pack works on 1.17 - 1.20.4 on 1.20.5 - 1.21.5 on 1.21.6 - 26.1.2 OR 1.21.6 - 1.21.10 (Sodium) and on 1.21.11+ (Sodium) and 26.3 (Sodium). It can help you with searching for ancient debris in nether!

Here are files which are changing overlay:

fog.glsl (clear lava and water)

===================================[IMPORTANT]===================================

If you want to play with Sodium on MC ver. lower than 26.2, you should install Sodium Core Shader Support mod, otherwise it won't work properly. Sodium version is also compatible with Vanilla, so you don't have to download 2 separate versions of the pack.
Sadly there isn't Sodium Core Shader Support version for 1.20.3 and below, so Sodium is supported only for versions above 1.20.4 SCSS also doesn't have version for NeoForge 1.21.9 and higher and it won't.
As I said, since 26.2 Sodium supports changing shaders, meaning you don't have to install additoinal mods.

If you see only a few chunks under lava/water

To make it work you need to disable the "Use Fog Occlusion" option in the Options -> Video Settings -> Performance.

================================================================================

These mods do not support Clear Lava and Water:

Rubidium [Forge]

  • shaders also don't support this texture pack (except Sodium)
  • If you're searching for something that works with incompatible mods I recommend installing mod instead: curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lava-clear-view
  • Mod should also work with Rubidium and Optifine.

PS: The mod I listed above isn't mine creation! 

HUGE THANKS TO:
