+# Trap Water Altitude
+> by SpacEagle17
+
+This shader snippet provides a custom uniform to record the altitude of water bodies. The recorded altitude:
+
+- Defaults to 61.9 when exiting water, entering from a cave, or during shader reload
+- Maintains the entered altitude value until the player exits the water
+- Uses a smooth transition technique to capture the eye altitude while in water
+
+The code should be added to your `shaders.properties` file. Then, to use this functionality, declare the uniform in your shader program like this:
+```glsl
+uniform float waterAltitude = 61.9; // Tracks the altitude of water bodies, with default value for fallback
+```
+Works on Iris and OptiFine  
+Special thanks to Xonk for the large number smooth() trick used to record values.
+
+> Used in Euphoria Patches to progressively darken water as the player descends deeper
+
+For more information about custom uniforms, visit the [shaders.properties documentation](https://shaders.properties/current/reference/shadersproperties/custom_uniforms/).
