Simple Waterloggable Redstone

About

This mod simply adds the waterlogged property for all redstone blocks: Redstone, Redstone Torch, Repeater, Comparator, Lever, Buttons, Pressure Plates.

Plugin Version?

While this project is primarily a mod, a plugin implementation is also being developed.

Thanks to the way Minecraft clients and servers communicate, it's possible to emulate waterlogging behavior by making both sides perceive water and blocks differently in specific situations. This approach works surprisingly well, but it is ultimately a workaround and comes with some visual limitations.

If you're using the plugin version, please keep in mind:

• Non-vanilla waterloggable blocks are represented through interactive "holograms".
• Visual effects may not be as accurate as the mod version.
• The plugin and the mod are separate projects with different technical limitations.
• Bug reports for both versions can be submitted through the same GitHub issue tracker.

Before requesting additional ports, please read the compatibility section below.

Compatibility & Information

Java Edition

Mod

The goal is to support all major mod loaders and Minecraft versions, from the earliest Alpha releases to the latest version available.

Most supported loaders already work correctly; simply download the version matching your Minecraft installation.

For bug reports, suggestions, or feature requests, please open an issue on GitHub.

Plugin Recode

The Plugin Recode is planned to support:

• Paper
• Spigot
• Bukkit

from Minecraft 1.21 onward.

For bug reports, suggestions, or requests for additional server platforms, please open an issue on GitHub.

Bedrock Support?

Yes. Both plugin and Fabric mod.

Plugin

When joining a Java server through Geyser, Bedrock players will also be able to experience the waterlogging features provided by the plugin version.

However, remember that:

• The plugin version is not identical to the mod version.
• Some visual compromises are unavoidable.
• The best experience is still achieved using the mod directly.

Mod? How?

Recent developments around Hydraulic for Fabric make direct Bedrock compatibility increasingly possible. Go check Geyser MC page.

This means that Bedrock players may eventually be able to use the Java mod itself on servers running both Geyser and Hydraulic, equally having the feature parity.

Planned Ports

Currently in development:

• Forge
• NeoForge
• Fabric
• Quilt
• Legacy Fabric
• LiteLoader
• Rift
• Ornithe
• NilLoader
• Babric
• Better Than Adventure (BTA)
• Risugami's ModLoader
