The Flash Flood
by Bandit-bytes
Rain in The Flash Flood gradually turns the ground around a player into water, so the surrounding area slowly becomes a flooded landscape to survive in.
What it does
During rain, water source blocks begin to appear around the player and spread over time, so the flood builds up instead of arriving at once. Swimming becomes a regular problem for anyone who stays outside for long, and the player has to explore, build and survive while the water level keeps changing.
The mod is set up as a challenge for worlds that use a changing environment. Its settings control how far the flood spreads from the player, how often water blocks appear during rain, and how big the affected area is, so the effect can run from a light drizzle to a heavy deluge. The sun stops the flooding. Architectury API is required on every loader, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across the eight release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, though its source code is public.

Sunlight ends the flood
