Water Erosion Continued
by MisterY3515
Water Erosion Continued makes flowing water wear away the land it runs over, carving streams and waterfalls into terrain.
What it does
Water that flows over the edge of a block wears away the blocks below it, so streams deepen their beds and cut into banks over time. Sand, gravel, clay, dirt, grass, farmland, mud and mud bricks are all erodable, and each has its own resistance, so weaker blocks give way first. Erosion also reaches upstream, where stream beds decay, and sources that sit next to air can dissolve neighbouring blocks.
The mod adds an erosion behaviour to the vanilla water block through the Mixin framework. Random ticks only reach water within a 128-block radius of a player, which limits the work done away from players, and source water below sea level is ignored. Water levels shown in the in-game interface are reversed relative to the block data, so a level of 1 in the data is shown as level 7. Files cover Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Carved streams and waterfalls
Flowing water cuts channels into land and forms streams, waterfalls and brooks as the terrain changes.
Erodable block types
Sand, gravel, clay, dirt, grass, mud and mud bricks wash away at rates set by their resistance.
Decaying stream beds
Weaker blocks decay before they disappear, and erosion moves upstream, deepening stream beds and cutting banks.
Radius-limited random ticks
Erosion runs only within 128 blocks of a player, with the chance of erosion raised when the distance is smaller.
