Geysers!
by qmw
Geysers! is a Fabric mod that turns standing still into a risk: a player who stays put on the ground triggers an eruption beneath their feet.
What it does
Staying in one place for too long sets off a countdown. After about three seconds the ground starts to bubble, the screen begins to rumble and the pressure rises. Two seconds later a geyser erupts directly under the player, and a column of water sprays high into the air. Moving before the timer runs out resets it, so the mechanic rewards players who keep travelling and punishes those who stop to dig, build or wait.
The launch is meant to be large and a little unpredictable, with a slight random scatter in where the player lands. Players who are airborne are spared the fall damage, and spectators are not affected. Anything thrown too high still comes down and can be hurt by the landing, so a launch can end badly. Geysers! works in single-player and on multiplayer servers, and the server and every player need the mod. Its only required dependency is Fabric API. Files exist for 26.1.2 only, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Stand-still countdown
Standing on solid ground starts a timer, and the eruption follows if the player does not move.
Escalating screen shake
The screen shakes harder as the pressure builds, giving warning before the eruption.
Launch with random scatter
The eruption throws the player high with a small random offset in where they come down.
Fall damage and spectators
Players who are airborne take no fall damage from the launch, and spectators are unaffected.
