Impressive

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!

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.

a video of how it looks like ingame would be awesome

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

@hawkfalcon

It will only fill it 1 block high... :/
