Water Resistance Potion

by Alliegaytor

Water Resistance Potion adds potions that grant the water resistance effect, which negates water damage other than drowning.

What it does

Potions of water resistance are brewed in a brewing stand by combining an awkward potion with a sponge, and adding redstone extends the effect's duration. Vanilla uses the effect mainly so that mobs hurt by water, such as Endermen, can swim without taking damage. When Origins is installed, players of hydrophobic origins gain the same protection.

The effect can make a fixed list of entities immune to water damage, including Endermen, players of origins that carry a water vulnerability power, Blazeborn, Enderian and any other hydrophobic origin. Potions are found mostly in shipwreck loot, sometimes in ancient cities and rarely elsewhere. The brewing recipe item and the potion colour can both be changed in the config file or the game's mod list screen, for example to a nautilus shell with a green colour.

The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 35 release versions, 1.16 – 26.2, and was first published on 2023-07-06.

How it compares

Full comparison

All The Potions is a Fabric-only client and server mod for 1.21.10 under the MIT License, but it is not open source. TVF's Potions is a NeoForge client and server mod for 1.21.8 under the MIT License and is not open source. Neo Origins is an open source NeoForge client and server mod for 1.21.1 – 26.2 under the MIT License, so it covers a much wider version range than this mod and is the one that does so.

What the author says

A minecraft fabric (and neoforge) mod that adds the potion of water resistance which confers the "water resistance" effect--negating water damage that isn't drowning. In vanilla the only usecase for granting an entity water resistance is to allow mobs that are ordinarily hurt by water (e.g. Endermen) to swim in it…
