Living Tides

Quickstart

1. Find a body of water and take a boat or raft onto it. Watch how it gently bobs and drifts.
2. Toss an item into the water to see it float and move with the current.
3. Try the same things in deeper water and during rain or a thunderstorm, when the waves are more noticeable.

There’s nothing to craft or activate; the effects happen automatically around you.

Overview

Living Tides gives water subtle, weather-influenced movement. Boats and floating items receive gentle nudges, while wakes and occasional splashes hint at the changing surface. The water remains ordinary water—you won’t see solid wave blocks.

What It Adds

• Gentle bobbing and drift for boats and rafts.
• Current drift and a little extra buoyancy for dropped items in water.
• Wake and splash effects around moving boats, swimmers, and shores.
• More energetic waves and occasional rain ripples in rainy or stormy weather.

How To Use

No special controls are needed. Sail or swim as usual, or drop an item into water and watch it drift. A nearby moving boat can also nudge floating items.

Abilities And Mechanics

The movement is subtle rather than a strong current. Shallow water near shore has calmer effects; deeper water gives the waves more influence. Rain and thunderstorms increase wave activity. Players aren’t pushed by the waves, though swimming can produce splash effects.

Progression And Strategy

There’s no progression system. For the clearest comparison, watch a boat or floating item first in shallow water, then in deeper water, and again during rain.
