Simple Water Gravity
by Estecka
Simple Water Gravity makes water and lava sources fall straight down, so they behave with sand-like gravity instead of spreading sideways.
What it does
Water and lava sources fall down until they reach a supported solid block or another source, and they can pass through open sides of water-loggable blocks. Deep water work becomes more predictable as a result. Other modded fluids may work the same way in theory. Fabric API is required, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.10 on Fabric.
Key features
Falling sources
Water and lava sources drop straight down rather than spreading out when nothing solid sits below them.
Stopping on support
A falling source settles once it meets a supported solid block or another source.
Passing water-loggable blocks
Falling fluid continues past waterlogged blocks wherever their sides are open, instead of halting at the first one it reaches.

What the author says
Gives water (and Lava) sources a sand-like gravity, making it more intuitive to work with deep bodies of water. Water sources will fall straight down, until they are supported by a solid block, or by another source. They will also fall through the open sides of water-loggable blocks.
