Again since I am not much of a map maker I don't have too much experience with these kind of issues but you could try checking out this link:

[Ingredient]

You need to be using a program that allows Grayscale mode such as GIMP (free) or Photoshop, programs like Paint will not work when making terrains.

Your terrain must meet these requirements:

- 513x513 in size
- Grayscale mode
- One layer only
- No alpha channel
- Exported or saved as .png format
- Named MapNameTerrain.png

Try using GIMP and following this video tutorial

If you go to the World tab in Map Maker there is an Ocean option at the bottom.



Tick the box called Ocean and adjust the ocean height so you can see the water.

Do you mean a material for the water or for an object like a rock for example?
