Wading Boots

Wading Boots is an item added in v1.0.6 of MFQM.

Description
Wading Boots is an item that can be equipped in the Boots armor slot of the player, they take the appearance of tall green rubber boots. Although in game they appear as green colored leather boots.

Crafting


In order to craft Wading Boots, one must create Tall Leather Boots first by having 6 leather and putting 3 pieces on each side.

Afterwards you need 8 slime balls and put it around the Tall Leather Boots to get Slimy Tall Leather Boots. All you need to do afterwards is to put it into a furnace, "cook" it and you will get Wading Boots.

Usage
Wading Boots work differently as they do not provide armor to the player. Instead they slow down or even stop the player from sinking into a few select quicksand types, most of which are dangerous types of quicksand. The Wading Boots currently slow down sinking for Mire, Bog, Moor and Mud. When walking through regular mud, the player will not be slowed down by the mud.

Boot's Relative Behavior to Quicksand
Main Article: Mechanics

A new feature introduced in v1.0.8 made it so that any armor in the Boots armor slot would have unique behavior when walking through certain types of quicksand types.

Quicksand types such as Brown Clay and Mineral Clay, wearing the Wadding Boots will slow down movement more than usual and make getting out more harder as the suction catches the boots as the player tries to get out.

Quicksand types such as Soft Snow, Wet Peat, Sinking Rug, Bog and Soft Quicksand will cause the player to be stuck much more faster than usual, typically the moment the boots sink under. Presumably the mentioned quicksand type's suction is increased greatly and catches the boots which in turn makes the player stuck. This includes trying to escape with only a Long Stick as the boots get sucked back down before they even get out.

Trivia

 * Due to Minecraft's limitations, the boots are displayed to only cover the feet. Based on the item icon of the Wading Boots, they are taller than regular boots probably up to shin height.
 * Also due to the mod's limitations, the boots do not get dirty.
 * Real life wading boots have a more different appearance looking like regular hiking shoes. The boots seen ingame resemble rubber boots, more specifically Wellington Boots.
 * Though the Wading Boots ingame were called that way presumably to make its usage more clearer as Wading means to walk through water or another liquid or viscous substance. Calling the item Rubber boots may seem like its a generic pair of boots.
 * If Biomes O' Plenty is installed, the Wading Boots are found under the Biomes O' Plenty tab instead of the MFQM tab in Creative mode
 * Considering the way the Wading boots are created, it can be assumed that heating up slime will effectively turn it into a rubber like substance.
