Immersive Water
by noobgrammer
With rain falling, Immersive Water adds ripple particles to the surface water blocks near the player, and this card covers how the mod changes how water looks in the world.
What it does
Immersive Water changes how water looks in the world without altering its behavior. When it is raining, ripple particles appear on nearby surface water blocks within a configurable radius. Entities that leave a body of water, or that are exposed to rain, shed dripping particles, which thin out over ten seconds. Fast-moving entities crossing the surface leave a trail of splash particles behind them, and in early morning or during rain, fog forms above open bodies of water.
The mod is a Fabric build for 1.21.5 – 1.21.6 and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It depends on Cloth Config API and Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it, while Mod Menu is optional and gives access to its settings screen. Immersive Water is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The latest file, 1.5.3 for 1.21.6, was published on 2025-06-19.
