Puddles & Floods

by PigCart

Puddles & Floods introduces a detailed puddle block that can form outdoors in rain or after certain fluid events, and it makes rivers spill over their banks.

What it does

A puddle can show up on open ground when it rains, under blocks that drip, where flowing water has passed over a block, after a splash potion strikes a block, once a full cauldron is destroyed, and as snow thaws. In low-lying areas such as rivers, valleys and coasts, nearby puddles can merge into floods. Puddles are non-destructive and do not wash away redstone or break blocks, and stepping in one makes a small splash sound.

The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric, and Forgified Fabric API on NeoForge. Mod Menu is optional and gives a settings screen. Configuration is also available through the /puddleflood command or the loader's mod list menu. Puddles from block interactions such as broken cauldrons, flowing water and melting snow appear only when the mod is installed on the server, while the other features run on the client even on a server without it.

The mod is client required and server optional, published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with builds for 1.20 – 26.3, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Source code and an issue tracker are public.

  3. Adjustable coverage

Questions

Does Puddles & Floods need Fabric API on NeoForge?

Forgified Fabric API is required on NeoForge in place of Fabric API. Fabric and Forge builds need Fabric API or the Forge equivalent as listed in the mod's files.

Do puddles from broken cauldrons appear on a server without the mod?

No. Puddles from block interactions such as broken cauldrons, flowing water and melting snow appear only when the mod is installed on the server.

How are puddle amounts configured?

Coverage for rain and storms, the spawn range, and the speed of collection and evaporation can be set through the /puddleflood command or the mod list menu.
