Rain Walker
by justfatlard
Rain Walker adds a boot enchantment that lays down temporary ice under the player while they run through rain on open ground.
What it does
When a player wearing boots with the enchantment moves across an exposed, rain-soaked surface, the enchantment places a short-lived ice block beneath their feet. The ice carries them forward so a sprint over open ground does not slow down or end in fall damage. The ice fades after about one to two seconds and leaves water behind where it stood. Only areas under open sky that are currently raining trigger the effect, so it has no effect indoors or in dry weather.
The enchantment is a treasure enchantment, so it cannot be picked from the enchanting table. Players can find it in loot, and a librarian villager offers an enchanted book for 32 emeralds once a player has reached 60 reputation with them, provided the village-quests mod is installed. The enchantment cannot share a pair of boots with the water-walking enchantments of the same family, so a player picks one or the other.
Rain Walker is a Fabric mod that needs Fabric API. It runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Pandorical is required on the server for the content sync that provides translated enchantment names; without it, vanilla clients would show a raw translation key. Clients that also have Pandorical see the translated name, and the enchantment works the same either way. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Rain-triggered ice path
Ice forms under the player's feet only when they move across open ground that is being rained on.
Fleeting ice platforms
Each platform lasts roughly one to two seconds, then disappears and leaves water behind.
Safe landings on ice
Falling onto a freshly placed platform does not hurt the player, so running off ledges in the rain stays safe.
Treasure enchantment
The enchantment appears in loot and through a librarian trade, not on the enchanting table.
