How to Tune Riptide Launch Distance and Charge Speed in the Config

What the Two Options Do

The mod exposes two config values that change how Riptide feels. tridentUsePowerModifier controls how far and fast you launch — vanilla behaves like 1.0, and the mod's default is higher, giving noticeably longer flights. tridentUseDuration controls how many ticks you must hold right-click before the launch fires — vanilla is 10 ticks, and the mod's default is lower, so it charges faster.

Editing the Config

1. Launch the game once with the mod installed so the config file generates.

2. Close the game.

3. Open your instance folder and find the config directory.

4. Open the mod's config file in a plain text editor.

5. Change the two values to whatever suits you.

6. Save and relaunch.

Choosing Values

• Raise the power modifier if you want elytra-like travel without elytra.
• Lower it back toward 1.0 if launches feel uncontrollable or you keep overshooting builds.
• Reduce the duration for snappier combat escapes; increase it if you keep firing accidentally.
• Test changes in a creative world before committing to a survival run, since extreme values can fling you into unloaded chunks.
