Description
FloatingItems Overview:
FloatingItems is a small mod that backports items' ability to float in water to pre-1.13 versions of Minecraft. It works both as a server-side mod as well as in single-player. Originally, coolsim created this mod as he was fed up with having to dive into the ocean to collect his potatoes as they would sink after being harvested from his farm.
FloatingItems Community:
Myself, along with other players of FloatingItems, can found at our Discord here. There is also a Guilded server for those who prefer to join it instead of Discord.
Main Features:
- Uses Mixin to make Items float in water and should support some modded fluids.
- Server-side, but without it on the client causes visual glitches
- Built-in Update Checker
- Config Options to disable floating for specific items (with or without metadata) and Ore Dictionary entries
Recommended Mods:
SurvivalPlus - SurvivalPlus enhances the vanilla survival experience of Minecraft whilst interacting with other mods to create seamless gameplay
MoreThanAPickaxe - Adds a multi-tool called an Adze which is a pickaxe, axe, sword, hoe, and shovel
SurvivalPlus Lightsabers - Adds Lightsabers from Star Wars with Industrial Craft 2 and Galacticraft Integration
ServerStop - A small server-side Minecraft mod that auto-shutdowns a server at a certain time on a certain day. Supports 33 Languages.
Minecraft Version:
Please do not ask for FloatingItems to be ported to an older version of Minecraft. coolsim intends to maintain all current Minecraft versions (1.7.10+) and is willing to backport when the associated RetroGradle updates are out.
License and Modpacks:
Please feel free to use FloatingItems in any modpack whilst making sure to give credit to coolsim. Do not redistribute FloatingItems in any form.
