Wet

Water and rain now matter! Entities that touch water or get caught in rain become Wet — gaining fire resistance for 5 seconds.

A simple, immersive mechanic that makes survival feel more realistic.

🎯 Core Features

• Wet Status - entities in water or rain gain 5 seconds of fire resistance
• Rain Detection - standing in rain under open sky triggers the effect
• Water & Bubble Columns - any water block or bubble column counts
• All Living Entities - players and mobs alike can become Wet
• Subtle Drip Particles - a gentle falling water effect on wet entities
• Performance Optimized - throttled particles, no tick lag, low-spec friendly
• No Resource Pack - pure datapack, works out of the box
• SMP Ready - fully multiplayer compatible

🎮 How It Works

1. Step into water or stand in rain under open sky
2. You gain fire resistance for 5 seconds
3. Subtle water droplets appear on your character
4. Walk through fire or lava — you won't burn!
5. After leaving water/rain, the effect fades after 5 seconds

No items needed, no activation required — it just works!

⚙️ Requirements

💧 Wet Triggers

Water Sources

Water blocks, flowing water, bubble columns

Weather

Rain — only when the entity can see the sky (not under roofs or overhangs)

What It Does

Grants Fire Resistance for 5 seconds — continuously refreshed while in contact with water or rain. Entities won't catch fire and any existing fire is extinguished.

🤝 Compatibility

• ✅ Works in both Survival and Creative mode
• ✅ Compatible with most other datapacks
• ✅ Multiplayer friendly
• ✅ Affects both players and mobs
• ✅ Works alongside other effect-based datapacks

🔧 Technical Details

How it Works

The datapack uses:

• Advancement trigger (minecraft:tick) for reliable per-tick execution
• Block detection for water and bubble column contact
• Predicates for weather and sky exposure checks
• Random chance throttling for performance-friendly particle effects

            └── particle_chance.json

Performance Notes

• Particles are throttled to ~2 bursts per second via random chance predicate
• Only 1–2 particles per burst — no particle spam
• Entity checks limited to 128 block radius around each player
• Fire resistance effect uses hidden particles to reduce visual clutter

What Happens When You Get Wet

When you enter water or rain:

• 💧 Subtle water droplets fall from your character
• 🛡️ Fire Resistance is applied for 5 seconds
• 🔥 Fire is extinguished immediately
• ✨ After leaving water, the protection fades after 5 seconds

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Fire Resistance icon appears in the HUD (slightly translucent) — this is a vanilla limitation as custom effects cannot be created via datapacks
• Waterlogged blocks (slabs, stairs, etc.) do not trigger the Wet status — only full water blocks
• Effect refreshes while in contact, so the 5-second timer only begins after leaving water/rain
