Just something random I was curious about.

I try to help a lot of people on here with things but now I have a question of my own .
Does anyone know of a way to give water the characteristic of a block? To add a "walking on water" affect?

 

If it looks like water to the walker, perhaps check if they are in water, and teleport them above it (but to the same position besides the y changE)

 

Perhaps you can run a PlayerMoveEvent, that checks the block under the player, and if the block underneath them is water, set the block's pass through feature to false?

Wouldn't that be too heavy on the server? That would check a ton of events.

It's surprising how capable a server is with these events, personally I've not found it to be too intensive.

 

Pass through feature?

Anyway, I tested this with teleportation, but as expected, has... well, it just isn't good. So, I used player.sendBlockChange instead, and it is working pretty well. The walker sees stone. Note this is also in the player move event, though it only does most of it if their block location has changed.

Awesome

Thanks guys I might attempt to make some sort of a semipermeable water mechanic.

Notable, though, is that if you manage to go faster than the server sends them - which, this wasn't a very valid test of, because it is localhost - which can make you walk on water, underwater, if that makes sense. So, I am trying to make it choose the top water block, basically, now.

The other issues is, if they cause it to update, and get sent what it really is - say, if they click on the stone they are working. Might be able to able to stop at least that occurrence, but I imagine many things could cause updates, and stopping them all would be difficult unless you constantly monitor the packets themselves, not the events that send them.
