Evaporated Waterfalls
by sugi_hitori
Evaporated Waterfalls changes how water springs and lava streams generate, so fewer of them appear on high ground and in terrain that would otherwise be flooded or burned.
What it does
Water springs appear far less often at higher y-levels and turn up more frequently lower down, and waterfalls are capped so they only generate below y-level 160. Lava streams, sometimes called lavafalls, are reduced in the same way. The aim is to keep good-looking terrain from being ruined by flooding, and to limit the forest fires that lava streams can start.
The mod is delivered as a data pack for servers, and it also ships as Fabric, Forge and Quilt builds. The server needs it, while players may leave it out, so the mod only has to run on the server side. Game versions covered are 1.20.2 – 1.21, and the code is available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source.
Key features
Fewer high waterfalls
Water springs spawn much less often at higher y-levels, so waterfalls are less common on hills and cliffs.
Waterfalls capped at y-level 160
Waterfalls only generate below y-level 160, which keeps tall terrain free of them.
Reduced lava streams
Lava streams and lavafalls are generated less frequently, limiting flooding and fire risk.

What the author says
This datapack/mod changes the generation of water springs to spawn way less often at higher y-levels, and more often at lower y-levels. This also caps waterfalls to only generate below y-level 160. And to match, lava streams (aka lavafalls), have also been reduced in general. This reduces the likelyhood of waterfalls…
