Nether Water
by SmushyTaco
Nether Water lets water flow in the Nether dimension, a setting vanilla Minecraft normally disables.
What it does
Water placed in the Nether behaves as it does in the Overworld, so players can build water features and flowing channels there. The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Its files target 1.21.3 – 26.2 on Fabric and need Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and oωo (owo-lib), while Mod Menu is optional. The mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source.
