# Effects

## Overview

Effects in World Creator can be added to any distribution, allowing you to further modify your distribution results.

There are many different results you can get from effects, ranging from [Angle Blur](/reference/terrain/effects/blur.md), [Clamp](/reference/terrain/effects/clamp.md)[ ](/reference/terrain/distributions/terrain/curvature.md)or [Denoise](/reference/terrain/effects/denoise.md) mask all the way to more complex such as [Simple Flow](/reference/terrain/effects/simple-flow.md).

## **Using Effects**

To add an effect simply press the small plus icon next to the Effects label.

Similar to World Creators [filter system](/reference/terrain/biome/filters.md), the effects work on a layer stack, meaning they work bottom-up.

## **Shared Parameters**

All effects provide the following options:

* **Opacity**\
  The strength of the effect.

* **Weight**\
  Allows you to reduce its influence on other effects.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.world-creator.com/reference/terrain/effects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
