How do I install this?

This mod adds complete customization for the way sound is played when the player is swimming in and under water as well as some smart visual tweaks to enhance immersion when underwater.

  • adds tweakable interval between water footsteps
  • adds tweakable duration randomization between footsteps
  • adds step in and step out sounds
  • adds bubble sounds that sometimes play when moving underwater
  • adds configurable reduction in visibility
  • adds configurable underwater fog coloring that dynamically interpolates between daytime and nighttime colors based on time of day

You may use /setwater command to open a GUI to customize the config to make changes to anything you don't like.

Ideally most games will be supported eventually. Current games tested and supported are minetest_game, Mineclonia, Voxelibre NodeCore. Please let me know if theres a game you want added in the attached luanti fourms topic, in a git issue, or in the comments down below.

    Very good mod with nice options

    I love mods that enhance sound and the general atmosphere in MCL! This one does exactly that and even has options you can tweak on top. Just NEVER turn the (water) brightness higher than 1.0 (I was being stupid again). Doing so crashes your world, and you’ll need to unload the mod, rejoin the world, leave, and activate the mod again. This fixed it for my crash.

    10/10 — gameplay-enhancing mod!

    Much better immersion

    I was just about to write code for this exact purpose, but now I don't have to. Finally some real underwater immersiom (pun intended).
