No more Infinite Water
by trinsdar
No more Infinite Water restricts where water can turn into a source block, so new infinite pools form only in selected biomes.
What it does
Normally a player can make an infinite water source anywhere by placing two source blocks beside a third. This mod stops that outside a set of biomes. By default the allowed biomes are river, ocean and deep ocean, pulled in through the vanilla biome tags for those terrains. Everywhere else, water placed by players does not become a new source.
The biome list lives in a tag called finitewater:is infinite water biome. A config option switches the tag between whitelist and blacklist behavior, so server owners can add biomes to it or remove biomes from it. The mod is published for Fabric and Forge only, with the 4.0.0 build covering 1.18 – 1.18.2.
Only the server needs this mod: the environment is server-side only, so players join without installing it. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Biome-limited water sources
Water blocks do not form new infinite sources outside the biomes listed in the tag.
Editable biome tag
The finitewater:is infinite water biome tag can be extended or trimmed with biomes of the server owner's choice.
Whitelist or blacklist mode
A boolean config option decides whether the tag works as an allow list or a deny list.
Default river and ocean biomes
By default the tag inherits the vanilla river, ocean and deep ocean biome tags, so oceans and rivers keep infinite water.

Use cases
Survival servers that limit water farms
Server owners who want water farming restricted to certain terrain can keep the default tag or edit it for their world.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want infinite water limited to particular biomes will find the tag and config option the main tools. Players on a server running the mod need nothing extra.
How it compares
Infinite Water Block is a Forge mod for 1.7.10 that adds a water block, and it is open source under the MIT License. Mod Blacklist is a Forge server-side mod for 1.18.2 under the CC-BY-1.0 license and is not open source. Neither of them limits where water sources form the way this mod does.

What the author says
This simply prevents water becoming infinite outside of river, ocean, or deep ocean type biomes. To configure it, simply add or remove biomes to/from to the finitewater:is_infinite_water_biome biome tag. by default that tag inherits biomes from the minecraft:is_river, minecraft:is_ocean, and minecraft:is_deep_ocean…
