WaterReminder
by thevelqor
WaterReminder warns a player who carries a water bucket into the Nether, before the bucket can cause a dangerous mistake.
What it does
Carrying a water bucket into the Nether is a common cause of deaths, because water evaporates there and cannot be used to break a fall or stop lava. WaterReminder shows a clear warning when a player enters the Nether while holding a water bucket, so the player can react before the situation turns into a panic. The reminder is a small safety notice and does not change the bucket or the dimension.
A small client-side addition for survival players and speedrunners, WaterReminder flags the risk of entering the Nether while carrying a water bucket. It has no complicated settings and no extra clutter on screen, so the warning is the only thing it adds. It is published for Fabric across nine release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, with the latest file, 1.0.1+26.2, built for 26.2 and released on 2026-06-28.
WaterReminder is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
