About this project
What does Puddles & Floods add?
Puddles & Floods adds a detailed puddle block that can appear during rain or after various fluid interactions.
Requires Fabric API (or forgified fabric api on neoforge).
For config, use command /puddleflood or your loader's mod list menu.

Puddles will appear:
- on the ground during rain
- below dripping blocks
- after water flows over a block
- when a splash potion hits a block
- after a filled cauldron is broken
- when snow melts
Puddles from block interactions (broken cauldrons, flowing water, melting snow) will only appear if the mod is installed on the server. The other features will function on your client even if you're playing on a server that doesn't have the mod.
Puddles are non-destructive and will not wash away redstone or break blocks.
Stepping in a puddle will make a small splash sound.
In low-lying areas like rivers, valleys, and coasts, puddles can combine to create floods.

Config
Access the in-game config menu with the command /puddleflood or through your loader's mod list menu.
You can:
- Enable or disable each feature of the mod
- set puddle coverage amount for rain and during storms
- set the range puddles spawn in around the player
- set speed at which puddles collect and evaporate
- toggle the usage of shader pack water on puddles

Mod Compatibility Q&A
Shader pack support
Only Iris/Oculus is supported. The recommended shader pack is Complementary.
How to fix puddles waving into the ground with some shader packs
Depending on the shader pack there are two ways to work around this:
- Option 1: Go into your shader settings and disable water waving.
- Or option 2: Make sure
LabPBRsupport is enabled in your shader pack and disableuse shaderpack waterin the mod's config.
How to fix random puddles appearing during raids
This is caused by the villager sweating effect from Subtle Effects.
- Option 1: Disable sweating effects in the options menu for Subtle Effects
- Or option 2: Disable drip puddles in the options menu for Puddles & Floods
How to edit puddle placement with resource packs
In addition to the block models, the placement of the puddle blocks during rain can be changed by resource packs by editing the texture at assets/puddleflood/textures/puddles.png.
