Finite Water Biomes
by 74HC14
Finite Water Biomes lets server owners exempt chosen biomes from the infinite water source block regeneration added by LobsterJohn's Finite Water mod.
What it does
Once LobsterJohn's Finite Water mod is in place, water sources stop regenerating across the world. This mod adds a biome blacklist that restores vanilla-style infinite water sources inside the biomes named in its config file, so players can pull water out of those spots as they would in an unmodified game. The blacklist can be edited through a data pack, which lets server owners add or remove biomes without touching the code.
The mod requires Finite Water. Only the server needs it, so players may join without installing it, and the server can run it without any client-side install. Files are published for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, with the 1.1+mod build for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and the code is open source under the MIT License. It is also available as a data pack for servers.
Key features
Biome blacklist
A list of biomes where water does not regenerate after the Finite Water rule is applied, editable through the config file.
Vanilla-style water sources
Inside blacklisted biomes, pulling water out of a source block leaves infinite water sources available, as in vanilla Minecraft.
Data pack editing
The biome list can be changed with a data pack, so server owners can adjust it without rebuilding the mod.
River and ocean coverage
River and ocean biomes are matched through Minecraft's river and ocean tags, so those biomes can be included or excluded together.

Who it’s for: Server owners who run Finite Water and want to choose which biomes keep infinite water sources. Players on a server that runs the mod need no installation.
