![]()
This mod fixes a bug where using a Riptide trident while wearing Depth Strider boots causes extreme drag in water. With this fix, you no longer need to remove your boots when traveling with a Riptide trident.
I originally created this mod for personal use, but decided to publish it because I thought others might find it useful as well.
Please be careful when using this mod on public servers. Riptiding quickly even though you are wearing depth strider could trigger anti-cheat plugins, although I haven't tested this.
Disclaimer
A solution to this bug was suggested on the bug report by the user __null. I used their code analysis while writing this mod, and ported it to work with Minecraft 1.21.4 and above.
