Dive in
Players who fall into water or lava from a height trigger a custom animation in Dive in, which adds it through Player Animation Library.
What it does
When a player free-falls into a fluid source such as water or lava, the mod plays a custom diving animation. The trigger sensitivity for cross-water jumps can be lowered in the config file, using a value from 0 to 1, and a game restart applies the change. The mod is described as lightweight and is in development, so bugs may occur.
Dive in requires Cloth Config API and Player Animation Library. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its files target 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the author notes that more version support is coming soon. Recommendations for a more immersive view are included in the author notes.
