Carry Water
by Komikan
Carry Water lets players pick up water with bare hands, so a bucket is no longer needed to move it between places on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Carry Water needs a bucket to start a water source, and after that the player can scoop water with empty hands and carry it. Right-clicking water with bare hands collects it, and the carried water can be released elsewhere to create puddles and water sources. The mod is aimed at early survival, where moving water quickly and farming with less setup can make a difference.
Several parts of the mechanic can be tuned: how long carried water is retained, how many steps are needed to turn a spot into an infinite water source, and whether splash water puts out burning mobs instantly. Visuals and animations are included, and the interface text is available in ten languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish and Russian.
The mod runs on NeoForge only, with a single build for 1.21.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is not open source; the author holds all rights.
