Fluid Void Fading
by DaFuqs
With Fluid Void Fading, fluids that flow off the edge of a platform into the void fade out on the client instead of rendering as a hard cutoff.
What it does
The mod renders fluids that flow into the void and fades them out smoothly, so an edge of water or lava in a sky dimension does not end abruptly. Fluids that are not transparent by default, like lava, can be added by name to the configuration file so the fade applies to them too. Fluid Void Fading is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Installation needs Cloth Config API on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric and Quilt. The mod runs on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.19.2 – 26.2 and 2.2.0+26.2 as the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds. Because it is client-side only, servers do not need it and players who join without it see the unmodified fluid edges.
The mod suits Skyblock packs and packs with dimensions in the sky, where fluid edges over the void are common. It does not currently work with Sodium.
Key features
Void edge fading
Fluids flowing into the void are rendered with a fade, instead of a hard edge.
Automatic modded fluid support
Fluids from other mods are handled automatically, without setup for each fluid.
Opaque fluid list
Fluids whose texture is not transparent, such as lava, can be listed by name in the configuration file.
Sodium incompatibility
The mod does not currently work alongside Sodium, so players using that renderer should expect the default edges.
