As I am looking at the code, it looks as if it is on by default. Another thing is that the toggle is there for a reason, if you want water that doesn't flow forever, toggle it off. Another thing, it turns every flowing block into a source block, as illustrated in the video above. Lava, however, is a bit different. Only a select number of lava blocks turn into a source block, due to the slowness of lava movement. I am currently working on a toggle for water and a toggle for lava. If you are confused about the use of this plugin, here are a few things you can use it for:
- Making a pool (it is annoying to have to place every block)
- Making an ocean
- Mimicking a swamp biome.
Here is the thing, when you want it on toggle it. When you want it off toggle it.
EDIT: P.s It doesn't effect water placed while it is toggled off.
Thanks for reading. I have taken your feedback into consideration, I appreciate you reporting any concerns/ bugs.

It is called ENDLESSFlow...
What this appears to do is have newly laid down water source blocks create not only the usual water flow blocks but about 1 in 5 are water source blocks too so that a water flow will regenerate itself ad infinitum. Very dangerous because if you decide you no longer want the water to flow then you cannot simply put another block in the water source block but you have to replace almost every block of water that it has spawned!
I won't be using becuase of that but one thought I did have was that it should be on by default otherwise you'd have to activate it every time you played. Which would get old very quickly.

Dude, this literally made me sleep better. You are the freaking best!

Thank you:)

@AlsoKnownAsJazz
I think that would be a seperate plugin:p

I like this idea, it's part of the way towards how I wish water would work sometimes. I like the idea of using water to power things, and having to use powered *something* to get water to certain places (like windmill-based pumps or something). I'm sure that's confusing, so picture this. You have a village on a hill. Nearby is a mountain, with a lake. You build an aqueduct that cuts into the side of the lake, a little lower than the surface of the water. Now water would run down your aqueduct, and could fill a cistern, pond, fountain, whatever at your village. Imagine putting a water wheel near the end of the aqueduct, and the water spins the wheel, giving you a power source. It would add a neat element if you had to build things to get water, instead of just dumping a bucket anywhere you want.
So anyway, on to the suggestions: What if water would *stay*, i.e. it can fill up a hole like a pond/lake etc, if it's surrounded by blocks higher than it. But, if it runs off a drop, the water runs off and disappears (including the placed source block). You could flood tunnels, which would make for some nasty traps.
This is way outside of what your mod was meant for, but just thinking out loud. What if water was a finite resource, and combine that idea with "EndlessFlow". So you could dig up into the bottom of a lake, and the source blocks of the lake would "leak" into the tunnel - if the tunnel has the same volume as the lake, the lake empties out. You'd need areas to fill back up with water when it rains or you'd soon have deep oceans and no lakes.
@mafima
I requested Samkio and Torrent to do a video for this, crossing fingers!:)
a video of how it looks like ingame would be awesome
Any suggestions?:p
Based on my testing, it only affects newly laid down water and lava.
If I install this on my server and I already have waterfalls and such .. how does it handle those?? Is it for newly laid lava or water only?
Thanks, -Ams
New version! http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/endlessflow/files/3-endless-flowv0-2/ Added enabling/disabling Approved:D
@coolo1
It does not work on a player basis, it works on flow. So no. But I am going to make a toggle.
@blazzzer213
It works on the basis of flow. When water or lava flows, it replaces the flowed block with a whole one. It is possible for me to make it more than one block, but not until July.
@hawkfalcon
It will only fill it 1 block high... :/
Could you please add permissions for this? I don't really want new members to use this... *Imagines the server with one bucket of water on a spire*
