Adds an Instant Lake block that when placed entirely fills an area enclosed by blocks with water, and an Instant lavapool block that does the same thing, but with lava.
Also adds a "Magic Bucket" that removes one entire layer of liquid blocks in a body of water or lava.
Some Info:
Instant lake can be crafted in survival mode with 8 buckets of water around a diamond.
If there are no blocks to bound the water within 100 squares of where the block is placed, it does not create water.
Useful for creating lakes quickly for scenery, or turning holes caused by explosions into ponds.
Extremely simple mod,should be compatible with other mods...
The index for the Instant Lake block is 450.
The lavapool block, can be crafted with 8 lava buckets around a diamond, block Index: 451
Fixes flowing water issues if placed into a lake
Adds the Magic Bucket Item that does the opposite of the block. Can be crafted just like a normal bucket but with diamonds instead of iron.
The Magic Bucket can only remove liquid not pick it up. Item Index: 452.
Download & Install
Download link for the latest version of the Instant Lake Block Mod ( [1.5.2]):
Find the InstantLakeSettings.txt file, it should be created in the .Minecraft folder the first time you play with this mod. For a server it will be created in the same folder as the server jar. To change the settings simply change the integers in front of each line as the instructions say, then save the file. If you are playing on a server you will not be able to craft items if your recipe for that item is set differently than the server's setting.
Bounding, Crafting recipes and block IDs can be edited.
Also WARNING: removing the boundary can have strange effects, though nothing extremely bad has happened to me so far. The Magic bucket removes entire oceans and rivers (though with a lot of lag) and sometimes changes to the world don't save. The blocks may cause errors like flooding your world in lava/water or causing strange bugs. SO BE CAREFUL
[/spoiler]
versions 1.4.4/1.4.5 and earlier require ModLoader, if you don't have it get it here:
This mod based off of the I.L.B. does the same thing but instead of just water and lava it puts down a layer of solid blocks. Blocks included so far are sand, gravel, snow, dirt, stone, planks, glass and TNT.
This can be useful for creating worlds or a "Spleef Zamboni" that could instantly repair a spleef field. The crafting recipes for these blocks are 8 of the blocks you want around a diamond.
Block IDs are 153-160
Requires Forge, works for Minecraft 1.5.1

It doesnt create water if there isnt any kind of boundary to contain the water within 100 blocks of where you place it. It's intentional so if you misplace it you don't create a massive flood.
The mod has been updated! I edited the first post with the new link, so get it there.
Some advice for how to use this mod: If you want to fill a large area with water/lava, stack block up in the very center of the pit up to one block lower than where you want the water level to be, then place the Instant block on top of the stack. Using this method you can fill large areas with water very quickly.
Hey man! I really like the mod! I made a mod review for this, so if you will please add a link in the description, it will be live soon at:
Great mod review, thanks for the support guys!
Cool stuff, will be useful. You should add a instant droughtificator (not a work i know). It removes all liquid blocks you place it in
I could do that. That will probably be in the next version of this mod.
I think that already existed in an earlier version of minecraft. The Sponge Block. The block is still in the creative inventory but it doesn't do anything anymore...
A simple, lovely idea. No offense, though, but the textures seem a bit off compared to vanilla Minecraft; I made some new ones to consider. No pressure to use them (you won't offend me if you scrap them), and no need to credit me. Best of luck with your mod ^.^
EDIT: Hurr durr, I was only going off the images in the banner, didn't take a good look at the ones in your hand mid-screenshot. So, feel free to ignore this.

I want to put a download link to these textures in the mod description. So if people want a different texture they can download yours.
Do you have a download link to 16 x 16 pixel versions of these? (they will have to be named Lava.png & Blue.png to work with the mod)
If you don't have one I can just put the textures in my own dropbox and post a link to it.
