In essence, I would like to request someone, please, make a world generation mod that simply makes rivers wider, maybe a range from 20 to 50 blocks wide. This would be a great mod to work with Climate Control and Archimedes Ship Mod/ Cuchaz's Ships Mod, so you can bring your ships inland, and because the Vanilla rivers just suck don't they?
this would work well in an amplified biomes world, since the scale would fit better, but in a normal world rivers of that size would end up being as large as some of the biomes right next to them...

I would love to see this happen!
Yes, it might be better in amplified or Large Boimes, since the rivers would be quite large hopefully If you use the Climate Control mod, then the boimes tend to be bigger, or at least better arranged
Your scale is perhaps too drastic, but bigger rivers would be absolutely amazing. Most rivers in minecraft can almost be jumped across, and it's rather sad. Wider and rivers would be nice, but it would also be nice if there was variable depth to the rivers. Some would be deep, whereas others would be rather shallow just to add lifelike variety.
+1 for the idea, but I would go a bit smaller than 20 for the minimum though.
It would be great if the closer they are from an ocean the wider they are but that's asking for a lot ^^'
That would also be awesome! I'm not sure how hard that would be to create, and I've been commenting around the popular world gen mods to see if they can add this feature to their mods, not sure how well thats going...If necessary, i might just saddle up and learn mod coding myself.

On the matter of scale of rivers, like their width, it would probably be good for config to decide those important things like Depth, Width, and Length
This is the most useful idea for a mod I have seen in a long time! When making boats, who needs them unless you plan to cross an ocean? I want a mod where the rivers are at least wide enough that you can fit a few boats side by side! I once had an idea for an amazing steam-ferry, with cuchaz' ships mod and UGOcraft (if it gets updated again), but rivers in current minecraft aren't even wide enough to need a 1-man boat!
I'm pretty sure that all it would take is a little tinker with the generation of river biomes, so it's an easy mod to make if anyone wants to try for it! I have no clue how to work with world generation, and am only a very beginner in java coding, so I don't think I could do it.
Also, like was said earlier, a config to modify average size of rivers (and possibly how far from average size rivers can stray!) would be great. I'm sure some people (not me) would prefer to play with creek-sized rivers still.

Bumb: because I really feel this is a necessary thing for us to have! I currently am unable to learn how to mod, unfortunately...
