Water Caustics
Resource PackMakes oceans more immersive by giving blocks animated textures to mimic water caustics from vibrant visuals, only underwater, and without the use of shaders.
Description

Water Caustics is an experimental resource pack that gives blocks animated textures using Continuity to simulate water caustics. These animations appear only on the top faces of blocks between Y-levels 55 and 62, and using Polytone, only applies to ocean biomes and rivers.

CTM can’t detect water or fluid states, so blocks can’t connect directly to water. Instead, the texture is determined by Y-level and biomes. If any other biomes were added to the list, caustics could appear on blocks that aren’t actually underwater, such as beaches or any land biomes bordering the ocean.
For creative uses, a workaround for this, is making caustics appear next to land biomes that border oceans and rivers, by using Axiom (?) or WorldEdit (?) to change the water’s biome to one of the ocean biomes.

Natural Textures
For the best results, use Natural Textures to give blocks rotations, which rotate the water caustics with it, and removes the grid-like pattern, as shown in screenshots.
