Hydrophobe
by 90
Hydrophobe adds two active liquid-repelling blocks that push water and lava away from their surroundings within a configurable range.
What it does
Two blocks repel fluids actively: one keeps water away and one keeps lava away, each up to 8 blocks from the block itself. The range is set in the config file, so server owners can adjust it. Cloth Config API is required on every loader. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across the 1.19.2 – 1.21 range, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Active water repellent
One block pushes water away from the area around it, keeping a space dry for building.
Active lava repellent
A second block does the same for lava, covering the opposite fluid with its own repelling effect.
Configurable range
The reach of both blocks can be set up to 8 blocks away, with the value stored in the mod's config.

What the author says
A simple Minecraft mod that adds two active liquid-repelling blocks: the Hydrophobe for water and Magmaphobe for lava, each with a configurable range up to 8 blocks away from themselves. Consider this a spiritual successor to the OpenBlocks Sponge from the 1.7/1.12 days, but with significantly less lag.
