Equip in Water

It appears that EquipInWater is ready to take the spotlight among mods that enable equipment usage while swimming.

This mod is based on LVH-IT's "UseEquipmentInWater" mod.

Now, let's dive into the exciting details!

The significant change in EquipInWater is its enhanced performance compared to "UseEquipmentInWater." During performance benchmarking, it was discovered that "UseEquipmentInWater" consumed 5.9% of the main loop due to its non-production-ready methods.

In contrast, EquipInWater offers over 50 times better performance while also providing configuration options for water-usable items.
