Overview

Wakes is a lightweight, client-side visual mod that brings dynamic water motion to Minecraft. Anything that travels across the surface of the water - a boat you are rowing, a mob wading through a river, or your own player swimming out into the ocean - now leaves a trailing wake and kicks up splashes behind it. The ripples and foam spread outward across the surface and fade away naturally, so water no longer looks flat and static.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wakes Mod actually add to the game?

It adds realistic trailing waves, ripples, and white foam behind boats, swimming players, and water mobs. These trails spread across the water surface and fade away naturally.

Do I need to install Wakes on the server to use it in multiplayer?

No, the mod works purely client-side, so you can join any multiplayer server without the server having it installed. Only your own client needs the mod.

Can I change how the Wakes look?

Yes, the mod includes an in-game settings screen where you can adjust wake resolution, opacity, and visual style. You can also toggle water blending options and change the splash plane size.

Which things in the world leave Wakes behind them?

Boats, swimming players, and water mobs all leave trailing waves and splashes as they move through water.
