Bubble Columns for 1.12
by xFrah
Bubble Columns for 1.12 adds water bubbles that carry players, items and mobs up or down, brought to Forge 1.12.2 from the later vanilla feature.
What it does
The mod backports bubble columns to Minecraft 1.12.2 by emulating the behavior that vanilla added later. Soul sand and magma blocks are replaced with custom versions that place bubbles, and those bubbles move entities in the same way the vanilla blocks do, so speed and movement follow the vanilla code. The mod works with any entity, including dropped items and mobs. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.12.2. The latest file is 1.0.7 for 1.12.2, dated 2026-08-14. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source.

What the author says
This mod emulates the bubble columns introduced in the 1.13 version. How does it work? The mod replaces the soulsand and the magma block with custom ones that place the bubbles, but don't worry they will continue to be the blocks you know and love so much.
