Riptide Depth Strider Fix
by Thijmer
Riptide Depth Strider Fix corrects a conflict where a Riptide trident launch with Depth Strider boots drags the player through water.
What it does
The bug appears when a player riptides with a trident while wearing Depth Strider boots, which causes extreme drag in water. With the fix installed, boots no longer need to be removed before traveling with a Riptide trident. The mod is client-side only, so servers can run without it. Builds cover 1.21.4 – 26.3 on Fabric, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source.
