About
Dive in
Custom diving animation is an immersive feature most commonly seen in open-world games like Legend of Zelda.
I love this animated detail. So I added it for minecraft.
NOTE:
- This is a server&client side mod, as it adds multiplayer animation visibility support.
- If animation triggered exceptionally when you do cross-water jump, lower the trigger sensitivity in the config file (0-1). Then restart the game and it will work.
- A light weight mod that adds custom animation when player drop into water or lava from a far distance.
- Triggers when player free falling into the fluid source.
- Currently still in dev, bugs may occur.
- More version support coming soon.
- Recommend using BetterThirdPerson Mod & Effective Mod for better immersion.
- Custom animation via Playeranimator & PAL.
