Lake to Ocean
- By
You are a small underground lake. Dig, gather and grow through eight stages until you become an ocean.
A Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.3 where you don't own a lake - you are the lake.
You wake up in a small dark cavern deep underground, standing in a tiny pool of water with a glowing Lake Heart at its centre. That pool is you. The Heart counts every water source block connected to it: that is your volume. Dig out the rock, fill it with water, gather water-themed materials and offer them to your Heart to grow through eight stages - until you break through to the surface and become an ocean.
Stages
| Stage | Volume | Offering at the Heart | Also needs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Puddle | start | - | - |
| Pond | 48 | - | - |
| Underground Lake | 150 | 8 Droplet | - |
| Spring | 350 | 1 Spring Core | - |
| River | 700 | 4 River Stone | open sky |
| Great Lake | 1500 | 4 Rain Pearl | open sky |
| Sea | 3000 | 16 Sea Salt | open sky |
| Ocean | 6000 | 1 Tidal Core | open sky |
Reaching Ocean starts the Rising Tide: the water floods the land around your Heart.
Materials
- Droplet - mined from Aquifer Ore (stone and deepslate), sometimes from pointed dripstone or stone next to water.
- Spring Core - droplets, lapis lazuli and a copper ingot.
- River Stone - gravel, cobblestone and droplets.
- Rain Pearl - forms in a Rain Catcher left under open sky while it rains.
- Sea Salt - fill a Salt Pan with a water bucket and let the sun evaporate it.
- Tidal Core - nautilus shells, a heart of the sea, rain pearls, sea salt and a spring core.
- Lake Journal - book + droplet: the in-game guide with every recipe.
Being water
- Hydration: away from your water you slowly dry out. Water, rain and your Heart refill you. How far you can roam grows with every stage; an Ocean never dries out.
- Tide: energy for your active powers, refilled in water.
- Passive powers by stage: water breathing, faster swimming, night vision underwater, jump boost, Dolphin's Grace, healing in rain, Conduit Power, and at Ocean four extra hearts.
- Active powers (keys, rebindable under "Lake to Ocean"): R use the selected power, V switch power, G shape water (place a water source; sneak to draw it back). Ripple, Geyser, Current Dash, Call the Rain and Tidal Wave unlock as you grow.
A HUD shows your stage, volume, next offering, hydration, tide and selected power. Each stage has its own celebration and advancement.
