Can't Touch Water
by BizCub
Can't Touch Water is a minigame mod in which water damages the player, so walking through lakes, rain and oceans becomes a hazard to plan around.
What it does
Water kills in this mod, and the rule is the point of the minigame. A player who enters water is harmed, which changes routes, travel and building for anyone trying to get around a world. The mod needs Fabric API on the Fabric loader, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 51 release versions, 1.13 – 26.3, with a data pack option for servers. Only the server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Lethal water
Contact with water causes damage, so swimming and wading stop being safe ways to cross terrain.
Data pack option
A data pack version is available for server platforms that do not use a mod loader.
Snapshot support
Builds are published for snapshot releases, so the rule can be tested before a stable version arrives.
