Project overview

  📖 About: Aqua Acrobatics is a direct port of the new movement features added in modern versions of Minecraft, most notably the swimming mechanic. 📚 Contents: Swimming is triggered when the player starts to sprint while underwater. Both the increase in speed as well as the fancy animation make traversing bodies of water a lot more fun. The player height when Sneaking has been decreased to 1.5 instead of 1.65 blocks. Through this change it has been made possible to sneak through smaller gaps. The Player Hitbox is forced to stay in a smaller state if there isn't enough space available. This means you can no longer stop sneaking by letting go of the key if you are in a tight area. But it also enables you to e. g. crawl through one block high holes. Changes to the Eye Level are really smooth. This is achieved by backporting the fix for MC-48401 . Aqua Acrobatics also backports the new Water Colors And Fog from the Update Aquatic. The colors can be customized in the config. Support for Biomes O' Plenty is included out of the box. Additionally there are also some tweaks unrelated to swimming included. Some of them being: the air meter no longer refills immediately after reaching the surface, easier elytra takeoff like in Minecraft 1.15 and onwards, sideways sprinting, and sprinting not being activated by double tapping. Some tweaks are disabled by default. Furthermore Aqua Acrobatics has great compatibility with a lot of well known mods such as Mo' Bends by Iwoplaza , Morph by iChun , More Player Models by Noppes , Wings by Pau101 , and ArtemisLib by Camellias . 📷 Media:    The player swimming towards the camera    Fancy swimming animation from behind    When sneaking the player perfectly fits into a 1.5 blocks gap    Player pose will adjust depending on the space available    The player sneaking through a tight space    The player is forced into sneaking pose by an extending piston    Push Player Out Of Blocks "Standard" option    Push Player Out Of Blocks "Approximate" option    Push Player Out Of Blocks "Exact" option    ✏️ Notes: A mod such as MixinBootstrap or Mixin 0.7-0.8 Compatibility is required for providing the Mixin framework used by Aqua Acrobatics. Otherwise this mod will fail to load. In addition to one of the above mods, consider installing MixinBooter as well. With this mod installed Aqua Acrobatics can also patch some other mods to help improve compatibility. While maintaining great compatibility with most mods, Aqua Acrobatics is fundamentally incompatible with some mods changing the same game mechanics. So far Idō by Bagu Chan , and Better Sprinting by Chylex are known. Thicc Entities by Wiresegal is incompatible but you can use the updated fork Entifier instead. Aqua Acrobatics has compatibility issues with TickCentral (used by LagGoggles and Tiquality ), but there is a workaround available here .

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Utility & QoL on Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The latest stored update signal is Mar 31, 2024. Older projects can still work well, but they deserve extra compatibility testing before being added to a current world or public server.

What to verify before choosing a file

  • Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
  • Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
  • Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
  • Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
  • Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
