OK warning here... this is a some what complicated idea and I have a bit of dislexia (or something like it anyway) so just use some phoniexs to try and figure out what i'm saying if it's spelling all funked up lol
The simple part of the idea:
Just being able to raise and lower the sea or magma level in the game with a mod, while keeping track of where it was spoce to be.
Why should we have this mod?
To incress the amount of water if you like, or drain sea's to build underwater bases with out constant flooding problems and having to do it complicated ways like diving and placing wood and glass.
You can just drain the seas, build your underwater city, and then flood it again once it's done and water prooffed.
Now for the coplicated details of the idea of how to make it work well.
For one the mod can't simply raise or lower the sea level by adding water to levels or you will unrealistic fludding.
How I see tis being fixed is the mod, when raising water, will find places that have stagnet water at the current sea level, and create stagnet water above them... then out level from them in every derection replacing air till they reach other blocks.
When lowering the water level It will check each body of water to see if there are blocks of water a level bellow it, if so it will simply erase the water in that level replacing it all with air. If there is nowater bellow it, it will leave a very strange behaving air block.
This speshal air bloock acts as a marker for where water should be when raising the water level back up, and if water level is raised to it, it will produce water outward from it. If something is placed in it, it will move horizonaly in some derection even if it has to skip through a few blocks to do so. If there is no place for it to move horizonaly it will move up one space. If the block bellow it is removed it will 'fall' down into the spot. This invisable sea level sorce block can be toggled to be visable with an option in the mod or can just always be visable.
This way if you lower the water level bellow the sea floor there is still a way to raise it back up.
This mod could also be used to rase/lower the magama level.
Some possable fetures
A little HUD that tracks where the sea level use to be and where the lowest sea floor on every created chunk is detected is desplaed.... in the middle acutal numbers for block levels.... and on the right the curent sea level and the lowest sea floor in this chunck maybe same for magma being shown.... though it would only keep track of say 40 or so levels you are on... would look something like this:
70 69 68 68 67 66 65 64 63 62 60 59 58 57 56 55

I aim to please ... and occasionally mentally scar. "Because it's your right as an American to butcher the English language."
This is my baby, please support her and get her into vanilla:
Also due to the lag intensive nature of a full world aplication of this mod idea.....
It would probly be a good idea to make it optional to lower the water in set chunks only....
Say the one your in, or the one your in and the 8 around it.....
