Description

A Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.3 where you don't own a lake - you are the lake.

You wake up in a small dark cavern deep underground, standing in a tiny pool of water with a glowing Lake Heart at its centre. That pool is you. The Heart counts every water source block connected to it: that is your volume. Dig out the rock, fill it with water, gather water-themed materials and offer them to your Heart to grow through eight stages - until you break through to the surface and become an ocean.

Stages

Stage Volume Offering at the Heart Also needs
Puddle start - -
Pond 48 - -
Underground Lake 150 8 Droplet -
Spring 350 1 Spring Core -
River 700 4 River Stone open sky
Great Lake 1500 4 Rain Pearl open sky
Sea 3000 16 Sea Salt open sky
Ocean 6000 1 Tidal Core open sky

Reaching Ocean starts the Rising Tide: the water floods the land around your Heart.

Materials

  • Droplet - mined from Aquifer Ore (stone and deepslate), sometimes from pointed dripstone or stone next to water.
  • Spring Core - droplets, lapis lazuli and a copper ingot.
  • River Stone - gravel, cobblestone and droplets.
  • Rain Pearl - forms in a Rain Catcher left under open sky while it rains.
  • Sea Salt - fill a Salt Pan with a water bucket and let the sun evaporate it.
  • Tidal Core - nautilus shells, a heart of the sea, rain pearls, sea salt and a spring core.
  • Lake Journal - book + droplet: the in-game guide with every recipe.

Being water

  • Hydration: away from your water you slowly dry out. Water, rain and your Heart refill you. How far you can roam grows with every stage; an Ocean never dries out.
  • Tide: energy for your active powers, refilled in water.
  • Passive powers by stage: water breathing, faster swimming, night vision underwater, jump boost, Dolphin's Grace, healing in rain, Conduit Power, and at Ocean four extra hearts.
  • Active powers (keys, rebindable under "Lake to Ocean"): R use the selected power, V switch power, G shape water (place a water source; sneak to draw it back). Ripple, Geyser, Current Dash, Call the Rain and Tidal Wave unlock as you grow.

A HUD shows your stage, volume, next offering, hydration, tide and selected power. Each stage has its own celebration and advancement.

Commands

  • /lake - your stage, volume, Heart, hydration and tide.
  • Operators: /lake setstage <stage>, /lake setvolume <n>, /lake tide <n>, /lake restart.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+, Fabric API. Install on both client and server.
