Water Trail
by MrY
Water Trail is a client-side Fabric mod that adds small particle effects around players moving through water rain and lava.
What it does
Particles appear as a player walks through water rain, with tiny drops drifting off the player as they leave the rain, and small drips of water and lava are shown when standing in lava or drinking Fire Resistance. Only the client needs it, so players can join servers without installing it. The license is MIT, and the source code is public. Files target 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, and the latest build is for 1.21.5.
