Most likely intended, the water is pulling you down the same time you are trying to go up.

The Bug
The levitation effects pushes you up even if you are in water or lava. It did not happen in earlier versions, but it changed in version 1.13. This also relates to MC-83369 which is resolved as works as intended, which means that it is an intended feature that levitation doesn’t work in water or lava.
How to reproduce:
1. Go in water.
2. Give yourself levitation. You can use this command: /effect @s levitation 4 9 true
What actually happened: You will get pushed up.
What I expected: You are not affected by levitation.
Thank you for your report!

indeed
confirmed
I don't think it's supposed towork under water. It doesn't work when you are flying, and it doesn't work on squids. I don't think this is a bug.
Confirmed for 15w41b
Confirmed for 15w42a
Confirmed for 15w43b

Can confirm. For all those saying that the water is pulling you down
Normal gravity pulls you down too. By that logic. Levitation wouldt do anything at all
Confirmed for 15w45a
Confirmed for 15w47a and 15w47c
This issue needs to be reopend as of 1.13
456qwejos, this is resolved as Works As Intended.
This feature got broken in bedrock Edition in 1.13. The levitation effect now works in water and lava on bedrock Edition.
MCPE-76143I’d like to request ownership, since the original reporter hasn’t active since September 2016.
This should have the vanilla-parity label because this is fixed in Bedrock.
Can confirm in 1.17.
Can confirm in 1.17.1.
I am able to confirm this in 21w40a. The expected behavior would be that the levitation effect works whilst in water.
Code analysis (Mojang mappings, 22w18a): in LivingEntity#travel(Vec3), the effects of Levitation are only calculated if three conditionals are false: the first one is
which means that, for Levitation to take effect, the entity cannot be simultaneously in water, be affected by fluids, and be unable to stand on the fluid it is on. For nearly all entities inside water, the first conditional is already true, so the effects of Levitation are not calculated. Same thing happens with entities that are inside lava (except striders, because striders can stand on lava).
... public void travel(Vec3 $$0) { if (this.isEffectiveAi() || this.isControlledByLocalInstance()) { ... FluidState $$3 = this.level.getFluidState(this.blockPosition()); if (this.isInWater() && this.isAffectedByFluids() && !this.canStandOnFluid($$3)) { ... } else if (this.isInLava() && this.isAffectedByFluids() && !this.canStandOnFluid($$3)) { ... } else if (this.isFallFlying()) { ... } else { BlockPos $$25 = this.getBlockPosBelowThatAffectsMyMovement(); float $$26 = this.level.getBlockState($$25).getBlock().getFriction(); float $$27 = this.onGround ? $$26 * 0.91f : 0.91f; Vec3 $$28 = this.handleRelativeFrictionAndCalculateMovement($$0, $$26); double $$29 = $$28.y; if (this.hasEffect(MobEffects.LEVITATION)) { $$29 += (0.05 * (double)(this.getEffect(MobEffects.LEVITATION).getAmplifier() + 1) - $$28.y) * 0.2; this.resetFallDistance(); } else if (!this.level.isClientSide || this.level.hasChunkAt($$25)) { if (!this.isNoGravity()) { $$29 -= $$1; } } else { $$29 = this.getY() > (double)this.level.getMinBuildHeight() ? -0.1 : 0.0; } if (this.shouldDiscardFriction()) { this.setDeltaMovement($$28.x, $$29, $$28.z); } else { this.setDeltaMovement($$28.x * (double)$$27, $$29 * (double)0.98f, $$28.z * (double)$$27); } } } this.calculateEntityAnimation(this, this instanceof FlyingAnimal); } ...
