Limitation/Known 'bugs':- Invisible world probably on Intel Chipset Graphics (hopefully fixed)- Popping artifacts due to the change of the reflection plane may occur- In Advanced OpenGL reflections are sometimes not displayed correctly (view frustum culling removes objects required for reflections)- Around water borders thin incorrect lines may occur (in the current version these artifacts are normally found at corners)Here is a donation button to solely support future development of compatibilty patches (namely forge)

Well, as long as you're honest about what you're doing, I think it'll be fine.
I'm not doing anything funky here, I just updated it for my personal needs and noticed there's a large amount of people expecting a update that will probably never come.
If I may say something, I don't know if it's something you might have done, or if its my system messing up, but when I load up my mc with this installed, it works perfectly when viewed from a horizontal angle, but when viewing through the water (consider, say, a wall of water) the shader seems to break and malfunction. It seems as though it's trying to work and cause that 'rippling' effect, but it's breaking in places.
If you'd like I can take pictures and show you if that'll be of any help.

That'd be handy. I recall someone complaining about a similar issue when I first saw ASakofDonut releasing his 1.3.1 version, must've broke somewhere along there.
I tried to use MCPatcher to install the mod but it detected conflict between ModLoader and Water Shader.
And even so, when I try to start up the game, it crashed.
I'll bookmark this, as I grew to love the shaders back in the day, though I do prefer Optifine more and have gotten used to OF's features.. I look forward to a compatibility again.
Even before, Optifine never really worked along side WS for me, a lot of the features appeared to be disabled, like zoom and fog toggle, not to mention many graphical glitches and the patcher not working.. any chance of this being fixed when made compatible again?
I'll try to. I don't even use my own mod as of now due to exactly what you wrote.

+1. Intel graphics can hardly support vanilla minecraft.
Any suggestions?
hd textures = optifine = incompatible
Been looking for one of these!
Keep up the Great Job Bro!
Suggestions:
- Add a Banner to get more support for your Mod!
Ok, thank you.
I will consider that. You can make one if you want.

2. I tried it with no mods at all and it still didn't work...
optifine uses similar methods to allow hd textures, and that is what is conflicting with this mod.
GLSL shaders are incompatible.
No problem!
And even so, when I try to start up the game, it crashed.
I'll add it to incompatibilies. Thanks!
I'm working on optifine, don't know about forge!
I'll try to. I don't even use my own mod as of now due to exactly what you wrote.
Will do! Thanks for making it!
