Entity Documentation - minecraft:buoyant

minecraft:buoyant allows an entity to float on the specified liquid blocks.

Parameters

Name	Default Value	Type	Description
apply_gravity	true	Boolean	Applies gravity each tick. Causes more of a wave simulation, but will cause more gravity to be applied outside liquids.
base_buoyancy	1.0	Decimal	Base buoyancy used to calculate how much the entity will float.
big_wave_probability	0.03	Decimal	Probability of a big wave hitting the entity. Only used if simulate_waves is true.
big_wave_speed	10.0	Decimal	Multiplier for the speed to make a big wave. Triggered depending on big_wave_probability.
drag_down_on_buoyancy_removed	0.0	Decimal	How much an entity will be dragged down when the buoyancy component is removed.
liquid_blocks	not set	List	List of blocks this entity can float on. Must be a liquid block.
simulate_waves	true	Boolean	If true, the movement simulates waves going through.
