Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on water splash effects?
Water splash effects are enabled by default once you load the data pack into your world. If splashes aren't appearing, check that the data pack is active in your world settings under Data Packs.
Do splash effects work in all water types?
Yes, splash effects trigger when you hit the surface of rivers, lakes, oceans, and any other water blocks. Different water sources will display the same splash animation.
Why aren't splashes showing up when I jump in water?
Make sure you're hitting the water surface from above—splashes only trigger when you fall or jump into water, not when you walk into it horizontally. Also verify the data pack is loaded and particle effects are enabled in your video settings.
Can I make the splash effects bigger or smaller?
You can adjust particle visibility and effect intensity by editing the data pack's configuration files, though the exact customization options depend on how the pack handles particle scaling.
