No critical hits in water

"Falling" while in water does not allow for a hit against a hostile mob to be critical as it normally would be on land. Damage given is normal and no "X"s appear.

Seeing that there is an explicit check in the code, if attacker isn't in water or on a ladder, i think it's intended.

Well the point of a critical hit is that your high downward velocity adds to the power of your strike.

In water, you're too hampered and moving too slow to get that extra concussive force.
