RiptideFix
by MiTask
RiptideFix, a Fabric mod for servers, makes the Riptide enchantment work alongside Depth Strider in water.
What it does
Riptide and Depth Strider conflict in vanilla Minecraft, so the Riptide enchantment does not behave as intended while a player also wears Depth Strider. RiptideFix resolves the conflict described in MC-136249, letting both enchantments function together as their descriptions state. Players can combine water movement with Riptide travel during a thunderstorm without the restrictions that the bug imposes.
The mod is a single small fix with no configuration to set up: install it and both enchantments work as expected. It is classified under Game mechanics and Transportation, and it is available for Fabric only, with files for 1.21 – 26.2 across 16 release versions. The environment is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the MIT License applies to the code, which is open source.
Installation is a matter of placing the file in the mods folder of a Fabric server. The latest file, 26.1-1.1, targets 26.2 and was published on 2026-06-16. The mod was first published on 2024-12-07 and has been kept current since then.
Key features

Riptide works properly when a player also has the Depth Strider enchantment, which vanilla blocks.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric and players who combine Riptide and Depth Strider on those servers will find the fix useful. Because it is server-side only, it covers the behavior for everyone who joins.
How it compares
Riptide Depth Strider Fix addresses the same conflict but is client-side only, so it runs on a single player's install, and it is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. Riptide Outside Water is a Fabric mod for client and server, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and targets 1.21.4 – 26.3, so it needs installing on both sides.
