Description

Wet

Water and rain now matter! Entities that touch water or get caught in rain become Wet — gaining fire resistance for 5 seconds.

A simple, immersive mechanic that makes survival feel more realistic.

🎯 Core Features

Wet Status - entities in water or rain gain 5 seconds of fire resistance
Rain Detection - standing in rain under open sky triggers the effect
Water & Bubble Columns - any water block or bubble column counts
All Living Entities - players and mobs alike can become Wet
Subtle Drip Particles - a gentle falling water effect on wet entities
Performance Optimized - throttled particles, no tick lag, low-spec friendly
No Resource Pack - pure datapack, works out of the box
SMP Ready - fully multiplayer compatible

🎮 How It Works

Step into water or stand in rain under open sky
You gain fire resistance for 5 seconds
Subtle water droplets appear on your character
Walk through fire or lava — you won't burn!
After leaving water/rain, the effect fades after 5 seconds

No items needed, no activation required — it just works!

📦 Installation

💧 Wet Triggers

Water Sources

Water blocks, flowing water, bubble columns

Weather

Rain — only when the entity can see the sky (not under roofs or overhangs)

What It Does

Grants Fire Resistance for 5 seconds — continuously refreshed while in contact with water or rain. Entities won't catch fire and any existing fire is extinguished.

🤝 Compatibility

✅ Works in both Survival and Creative mode
✅ Compatible with most other datapacks
✅ Multiplayer friendly
✅ Affects both players and mobs
✅ Works alongside other effect-based datapacks

🔧 Technical Details

How it Works

The datapack uses:

Advancement trigger (minecraft:tick) for reliable per-tick execution
Block detection for water and bubble column contact
Predicates for weather and sky exposure checks
Random chance throttling for performance-friendly particle effects

Performance Notes

Particles are throttled to ~2 bursts per second via random chance predicate
Only 1–2 particles per burst — no particle spam
Entity checks limited to 128 block radius around each player
Fire resistance effect uses hidden particles to reduce visual clutter

What Happens When You Get Wet

When you enter water or rain:

💧 Subtle water droplets fall from your character
🛡️ Fire Resistance is applied for 5 seconds
🔥 Fire is extinguished immediately
✨ After leaving water, the protection fades after 5 seconds

⚠️ Known Limitations

Fire Resistance icon appears in the HUD (slightly translucent) — this is a vanilla limitation as custom effects cannot be created via datapacks
Waterlogged blocks (slabs, stairs, etc.) do not trigger the Wet status — only full water blocks
Effect refreshes while in contact, so the 5-second timer only begins after leaving water/rain
