Riptide Outside Water
by Aeroshide
Riptide Outside Water lets players use the Riptide Enchantment on tridents when they are not standing in water, with settings a server owner can tune.
What it does
On Fabric, the mod allows a trident enchanted with Riptide to launch the player outside water, where vanilla normally blocks it. A configurable cooldown sets how often the boost can be used, so the owner can adjust the balance to suit the server or single-player world. The default values are described in a JSON file in the config folder, which can be opened and edited with any text editor after the mod has run once.
The mod needs Fabric API and Rose Bush, which provides the Roselib library it is built on. Riptide Outside Water is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The source code is public under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source. Builds are published for 26.3 and for the other game versions 1.21.4 – 26.2, with 13 release versions in total.
If the client has the mod but the server does not, the boost disables itself while playing on that server. The server's config overrides the client's, so the server owner decides the final values for the players it hosts.

Riptide Everywhere is a client-side only mod for Fabric and NeoForge under the MIT License, open source, for 1.18 – 26.2, so it runs on the player's side alone.
