OK so i have this idea for a cool mod that ads a lot of features to the water aspect of minecraft. Yes i know there are some mods that do stuff with water but this mod does alot more then those mods.
ok so here are some of the ideas i have for the mod already.
first i have water fountains and water jets i already have recipe ideas or them and they will be announced once i get the mod going.
there will be docks for floating fountains and regular docks as well but they can only be created with pylons.
with this mod u can make a real pool it will have filters water pumps and heaters and compressors built into the pumps and there will be hoses that connect the pumps to the water jets. there will also be hot water and diving boards.
its also going to have water slides because the way of making a water slide now is a little strange and with mine the water will be changed when being used on the slides.
here are a few snapshots that are roughly what the items and blocks will look like later on
the connection block is for when u would cut the hose to put the connector for the deck jets or reg jets that are in the side of the pool. i did it this way so its less items that needed to be used
tell me what u think
also guys i would like u guys to post a few rough images for hoses (not green ones) and boat racks. thanks in advanced

Hmm. How about doing the water system like the Vis system in Thaumcraft, poolwise? Water and contaminants, pumps for pressure, filters for getting rid of contaminants, etc...
In fact, this sounds like you'd want to implement a water system like in djoslin's finite water mod.
Diving boards would probably just be aesthetic.
The slides might be implemented a an expandable structure w/ multiple blocks. Some sort of material for the slide (plastic? Carbon fiber a la IC2?), metal ladders(standalone ladders), add hoses to them to get waterslide ladders, make a zigzag of slide pieces and end w/ a line of slide ladders under the top part to make a slide, need water at around a certain pressure for it to work.
With the fountains, I'm guessing it would be something like an item that spawns a pattern ofblocks that if any are destroyed destroys them all and drops them all a la (Actually, I can't think of any mods that do this off the top of my head, not that they don't exist) and jets would be like you described. Orientable, you attach water to them w/ hoses, higher pressure=higher the water spawns, up until it beaks the jet.

ok so first off the filters are just for looks right now and i got lost with everything u were saying but i have stuff planed just wait for the snapshots i will need help with recipes but not right away i need to start the mod before i do that so rest assured u will like this mod and it will be alot diff from any mod thats out there now.. well i hope so
lol what i said was just a basic i wasnt gonna fully explain everything right away and the filters are like if any items get thrown into the water they will be caught in the filter and the filter will need to be replaced every so often or atleast cleaned. trust me its gonna be great

oh guys im adding in a redstone casing thats like the size of a block and it will have like 4 spots that show up like if u have restone on all sides all 4 spots wil be open if u have it on 2 only 2 will open and so on. it will also cover repeaters as well. the main use of this is to protect repeaters and redstone dust from washing away when u wire up a fountain. i was thinking about having it white or having like a bunch of different ones like as dirt and stone and sand and whatever else. what do u guys think?
May I suggest waves in seas and oceans depending on the moon phase? And current in rivers as well.

If I do not reply to my posts, I either have no internet connection, or am busy with college work. Alternatively, I may be writing up the post now. It all depends on the situation.
Maybe make something like Waterproof Redstone.
Craft redstone with something to make it.
And you can have Waterproof Redstone Torches, Waterproof Repeaters, etc.
I think that'll be a better alternative to putting covers on already placed redstone.
Especially if you're wiring into a pre-existing lake that you don't want to drain.

meh im putting in water proof pressuer plates buttons and switches not gonna do water proof redstone torches cuz if u want something powered and be able to turn it on and off u make it so the torches are under the are where u have the switches or they are under ground but yea i still need to get a few programs together before i start so it wont be to long
ok so here are some of the ideas i have for the mod already.

Well, thanks! Just expanding on what he said.

But still, it's not like you're copying the mod if you do it that way.
