Hoverbikes Hover Over Liquids (Standard)

Description
Allows hoverbikes to hover over liquids, reduces bouncing from falling, and makes underwater movement less UNrealistic.

I've done two versions of this mod, each with a different idea as to how hoverbikes should behave when not in use.

Choose only one

In this version, Vanilla behavior is kept, and hoverbikes will not hover when not in use - they will SINK if you stop riding them above water.

If you would like to have hoverbikes that hover permanently, grab the Perma Hover version instead.

Features

  • Hovering over liquids is now possible
  • Less unrealistic underwater movement
  • Hoverbikes experience water drag
  • Hoverbikes are denser than water *
  • Bouncing from falling is decreased

* What this means for Standard version:
Hoverbikes don't float on water. However, if you are not too deep into water, the hoverbike will find its way up as long as you're riding it. This is to simulate that hoverbikes are potent enough to hover their way out of shallow water


Q&A

Q: What's the difference between this mod and Better Hoverbikes ?
A: Both mods have different implementations. Although a great mod, Better Hoverbikes doesn't handle jumping on liquids well. Also, they assume hoverbikes should float on water, while my mod assumes hoverbikes are denser than water. I also introduced new underwater behavior. Now, hoverbikes actually experience some water drag.
