One water-related feature I'd really like to see is a way to replace underground springs with a trickle of water when the source block is replaced, rather than permanently removing the spring. When you place, say, a stone block over the spring's source, the stone is replaced with a new block type that looks like stone with water trickling through the cracks. That block would then generate a trickle of water, which looks like a flat texture, along the same path that water would use. The trickle would be slippery like ice, but otherwise easy to move through. In mid-air, it would look like drops of water falling.

This would be a nice alternative to simply covering up the spring and removing that detail from your game entirely.

Thank you so much for this awesome mod! :biggrin.gif:

I hope to see it in 1.8 soon! :smile.gif:

This might not be feasible, but it would be great if liquids could align themselves sideways when flowing over an edge.

It's only for 1.7.3.

nice mod i gota say but 1 big problem.
I CANT FIND THE READER THINGAMABOPIN
D: can u make a link to it?
ty!

I disagree.

Also adding to what Thunder was trying to say. I too would like to see some sort of erosion after ample amount of time and flow. Overall though, this mod is fantastic as is. :biggrin.gif:

I may be retarded, but I can't be the only person who wants more of a description about this mod than the title and some videos.

does it work for 1.8.1 already? i am not patient enough (A)

Does anyone on this forum read? He's rewriting the whole things, be patient!
Also, take a look at this: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/677261-please-update-type-posts-will-be-warned-for/

I wonder if anyone has actually been warned for asking for a mod update?

Not possible as you've suggested without rewriting a lot of Minecraft's block code. There could be ways it could be done otherwise, though. One option is to have a check that records the coordinates of all springs on the map as they are generated, and if the check finds that those coordinates are "air", then place a new spring there. Essentially, this will make springs regenerate when you remove a block placed over it.

Awesome! You did it! GREAT JOB.

you will never update the mod to 1.8

I have been using this mod for some time, it is probably the most ingenious mod I have seen created. I am really looking forward to the methane addition, and I hope the rewrite plays well with BTW this time around (not a big deal if it doesn't, as I will always choose this mod over others). Keep up the awesome work.

Can we get a progress update on what your currently working on now? I think it would settle me and the rest of the angry horde down screaming about 1.8 updates lol. Hope to see a working version soon, but a small progress comment would keep us at bay :smile.gif:

This was my favorite mod of all time. I really cant wait for the re-write of it. Will that version 5 be for 1.9? Seriously, the game is SOOOOOOOOO much more 1 dimensional without this mod.

I'm hoping this will be added to the official game and replace all water.

We'll need another log. MyCraft will generally save them in times like this.

I looked around and it looks like Better Than Wolves shares some classes with this. :unsure.gif:

So, I chucked out BTW, and am only running SPC, TMI, Modloader, PropReader 1.4, BetterBlocks, Optifine, and this. But the dreaded black screen has returned!

I love this mod!!! heres a little present

Why can't this forum be more like Facepunch? I'm sure a couple of bans would stop all the update request spam.

that is most likely optifine's fault but i could be wrong

It's getting extremely close. I'm trying to release by Saturday.
I worked a whole bunch tonight. I fixed a few bugs that were to do with oceans not properly updating, especially in the new classic mode. Then I fixed up the ice sheets that cover the ocean from caves, they should prevent huge floods when you walk around. Then I finally added in the physics for mixing gas / liquid. I made a hour-glass like thing with water in top and methane in bottom. At first it did nothing, then it only swapped the middle area. So I figured out how to scatter them around when they are in that position and now the water and methane swap completely in the hour-glass. It felt pretty cool once it started working. After that I added in a new system to trigger when two liquids come in contact with eachother. Then I added a new system for lava / water interacting. Sometimes water / lava will disappear, sometimes cobblestone will appear and sometimes obsidian. It all depends on the amount of liquid that is being dealt with.

tl;dr hopefully saturday.
1.9 better not release :sad.gif:
