Description

Makes swimming feel fluid and natural!

Improved Swim Physics swimming:
- Press SPACE to begin swimming
- Press W/A/S/D to swim in that direction
- Hold JUMP and swim towards the surface of the liquid to jump out of it

Vanilla Starbound swimming:
- Move player down, constantly, no matter what.
- Press SPACE to skyrocket like 5 blocks up, or 198 blocks if you have the Swim Boost buff or augment.
- Give player unlimited jumps
- Move left and right slowly
- Make people hate ocean biomes

The player character will automatically begin to swim when the water is up to their chest.

Q & A

Q: Is this mod client-side?
A: Yes! When installed, you will be affected by this mod even if the server you are playing on does not have the mod installed.

Q: I'm using Frackin' Universe and swimming is very fast for some reason.
A: Frackin' Universe has an obfuscated and outdated copy of code stolen from this mod, resulting in the extra speed. You can disable FU's copy with this mod! You can also toggle the mod via Quickbar.

@Sarcose it works with swim boost effects

This has been an essential mod for me since forever. Question: does it have compatibility with any mods that add swim buffs? Like race traits / Hylotl swimming, for instance. Or is it possible for it to be compatible with a patch if not? I can't bring myself to uninstall this so I can have fancy fish people swimming, but I don't want my special snowflake fish person to not be able to swim gooder than other races :/)

Okay, thanks.

@Artreage I can't recreate the issue, sorry

When my character touches any liquid with this mod, the game freezes for 1 second. I also installed it with the revert swim physics mod. Is there a solution?
