How to Use Riptide for Fast Overworld and Nether Travel

Why It Beats Walking

With the mod's boosted launch power and the offhand water bucket trick, Riptide becomes a reliable movement tool anywhere — no storm required. You can cross ravines, climb cliffs, and skip terrain in a few seconds per launch.

Building a Launch Routine

1. Equip a Riptide trident in your main hand and a water bucket in your offhand.

2. Aim slightly upward (around 30–45 degrees) for maximum horizontal distance.

3. Hold right-click until the charge completes, then release.

4. While airborne, look where you want to go — you keep most of your momentum.

5. Land, immediately re-aim, and launch again to chain hops.

Nether and End Notes

• In the Nether, aim lower than you think — ceilings are close and a steep launch slams you into netherrack.
• Over lava, keep a second water bucket in your hotbar in case you land badly; the offhand one is for launching, not rescue.
• In the End, chaining launches between islands is faster than bridging, but watch for the void on missed angles.

Safety

Carry Feather Falling or slow-falling potions. High power modifiers mean high fall damage when a launch goes wrong.
