Features

Showers

The heart of your bathroom. It's not just for looks; it's for power.

• Install Core: Right-click a Shower Head with a Shower Core (Item).
• Swap Core: Right-click with a different core. The old one pops out.
• Remove Core: Sneak + Right-click with an empty hand to remove the core.
• Toggle: Right-click to turn it on or off.
• Effect: Stand under the running water to get continuous buffs. Effects stack up over time when standing continuously.

Core Type	Effects (10s refresh)	Notes
Hot Water	Speed II	Basic speed boost
Milk	Regeneration II + Removes negative effects	Cleanses all negative status effects + Saturation every 15s
Herbal	Regeneration II + Resistance II + Removes negative effects	Damages undead entities (1 HP every 2s)
Peony	Regeneration II + Luck II + Haste II + Removes Bad Omen/Debuffs	Triple buff combo
Honey	Regeneration II + Absorption IV	Saturation every 4s, provides extra golden hearts
Rose	Regeneration II + Strength II + Removes Bad Omen/Debuffs	Combat-focused buffs

Cores

Placing a Shower Core down as a block acts like a Conduit with area-of-effect (AOE) buffs.

• Activation: Requires specific frame blocks placed around them to activate.

Core Block	Buffs Granted (13s duration)	Activation Frame Blocks
Hot Water	Speed II	Prismarine, Prismarine Bricks
Milk	Saturation II	Quartz Blocks (All types)
Herbal	Regeneration II	Moss, Vines, Leaves
Peony	Luck II	Pink Wool / Concrete / Terracotta
Honey	Absorption II	Honeycomb Block, Honey Block
Rose	Strength II	Red Wool / Concrete / Terracotta

Bathtubs

For when standing is just too much effort.

• Fill up: Right-click with a water/lava bucket, or HotBath fluids for magical effects! Hot fluids produce visible steam particles.
• Faucet: Sneak + Right-click the faucet part for a fun visual whoosh water effect.
• Sit down: Right-click the head or foot of the tub to relax.
• Shared Bath: Right-click an occupied tub to request to join. The player inside clicks [Accept] or [Reject] in chat (or use /showercore accept_bath/deny_bath). Players must be within 5 blocks.
• Reskinning: Hold 6x identical blocks in your main hand and right-click the tub to change its texture. Survival consumes 6 blocks (only if changed), Creative is free. Works with most vanilla and modded blocks seamlessly.

Ducks

The true boss of this mod: The Rubber Duck.

• Physics: Floats and bobs in water!
• Interact: Right-click to make it spin.
• Pickup: Sneak + Right-click to take your buddy back into your inventory.
• Warning: Do NOT throw it in lava. It will scream. You will feel bad.

Technical

Configuration

Tweak the mod via configuration files:

• Activation Blocks: Change which blocks activate the Core Blocks.
• Steam Fluids: Define which extra modded fluids or lava make the tub steam.
• Duck Destroyers: Choose which fluids are lethal to your rubber duck.
• Visuals: Toggle translucent particles for a mistier look.

Incompatibilities

• Chunk Animator: Messes with block rendering. Causes limitations:
  • Custom fluids from other mods cannot be poured into the bathtub (HotBath fluids still work fine).
  • The "Duck Destroyers" config breaks, making ducks immortal in dangerous fluids.
