Welcome to ShowerCore! Tired of smelling like a zombie after a long mining trip? Want to gain superpowers just by standing under some water? You've come to the right place. This mod turns your boring hygiene routine into a magical, buff-granting experience.
Note: This mod requires HotBath to work properly. HotBath provides the basic bath fluids used in this mod.
The Shower Head
The heart of your bathroom. It's not just for looks; it's for power.
- Install Core: Right-click with a Shower Core (Item) to install it.
- Swap Core: Right-click with another core; the old one pops out.
- Remove Core: Sneak + Right-click with an empty hand to remove the core.
- Turn On/Off: Right-click with an empty hand. A core must be installed to turn the water on.
- Effect: Stand under the running water to get buffs based on the installed core. No complex setup required!
Shower Head Effects
| Core | Main shower buffs |
|---|---|
| Hot Water | Speed |
| Milk | Regeneration, hunger recovery and cleansing |
| Herbal | Regeneration, Resistance and cleansing; hurts undead |
| Peony | Regeneration, Luck, Haste and cleansing |
| Honey | Regeneration, Absorption and hunger recovery |
| Rose | Regeneration, Strength and cleansing |
Buff duration builds up while you shower, up to two minutes. Cleansing rules differ by core; none removes Bad Luck. Full values and exceptions are in the official guide.
The Shower Core (Block)
If you place a Shower Core down as a block instead of putting it in a shower head, it acts like a Conduit. Build a Conduit-style frame from that core's matching blocks to activate an area buff for nearby players. Core blocks and shower heads have different effects; the guide lists the frame materials and ranges.
The Bathtub
For when standing is just too much effort.
- Fill 'er up: Right-click with a bucket of water or a Hot Bath fluid. Bath fluids provide buffs; ordinary water does not.
- Visual Effects: Hot water and HotBath fluids produce steam particles above the bathtub
- The Faucet: Empty-hand right-click the faucet on a filled tub to toggle running water. It does not fill an empty tub.
- Sit Down: Empty-hand right-click the head or foot of the tub to sit.
Shared Bath (Ooh la la):
- Empty-hand right-click the free end of an occupied tub to ask to join.
- The person inside gets an
[Accept]/[Reject]prompt in chat. Press 'T' to open chat and click it! - (Or use commands: `/showercore accept_bath
//showercore deny_bath `) - Note: Don't run away! You must be within 5 blocks to join.
- The other player must remain seated and the second seat must be free.
Custom Bathtub Textures
Match a bathtub to your build using vanilla or modded block textures. Hold the bathtub item in one hand and at least 6 identical blocks in the other, then use the item before placing it. Survival consumes 6 blocks when the material changes; Creative is free.
The Rubber Duck
The true boss of this mod.
- Physics: It floats! It bobs! It's adorable!
- Spin: Poke it (Right-click) to make it spin.
- Pickup: Sneak + Right-click to take your buddy home.
- DANGER: DO NOT throw it in lava. It will scream. You will feel bad. You monster.
