Muddy World
by weboyee
Muddy World turns wet terrain into mud: grass, podzol and dirt near water change, and a new block called Viscous Mud appears in swamps.
What it does
Dirt grass near water becomes muddy grass, and natural dirt variants convert to mud when they touch water. Mud patches of Viscous Mud generate in swamps, mangrove swamps, jungles and bamboo jungles, which makes humid biomes look wetter. Muddy Grass and Muddy Podzol are added as new surface blocks, and dry biomes let natural mud dry back out, while the Nether lets lava dry it.
Viscous Mud slows entities that move through it, similar to Powder Snow. It can be collected and placed with a bucket. Fabric API is required. Rooted Trees is optional: when both mods are installed, rooted terrain near water becomes muddy, with Muddy Rooted Grass and Muddy Rooted Podzol added, and those rooted blocks dry back in dry biomes. Without Rooted Trees, the mod still works normally and its compatibility blocks stay hidden in the creative inventory.
The mod runs on Fabric for game versions 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.2, with the latest file 0.11.2-beta+mc1.20.1 published on the beta channel. Only the client needs nothing extra: both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License, not open source.
