Riptide Depth Strider Fix

by Thijmer · on Modrinth

This mod fixes a bug where using a Riptide trident while wearing Depth Strider boots causes extreme drag in water.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.2Newest
Minecraft 1.21.11
Minecraft 1.21.5–1.21.10
Minecraft 1.21.4

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.10 ⬇ Download for 1.21.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Riptide Depth Strider Fix

This mod fixes a bug where using a Riptide trident while wearing Depth Strider boots causes extreme drag in water. With this fix, you no longer need to remove your boots when traveling with a Riptide trident.

I originally created this mod for personal use, but decided to publish it because I thought others might find it useful as well.

Please be careful when using this mod on public servers. Riptiding quickly even though you are wearing depth strider could trigger anti-cheat plugins, although I haven't tested this.

Disclaimer

A solution to this bug was suggested on the bug report by the user __null. I used their code analysis while writing this mod, and ported it to work with Minecraft 1.21.4 and above.
