waterfinity 🔗

Finite liquids implementation for modern Minetest.

Note: Recommended to add this mod to new worlds only. For MTG, the default settings replace water and lava in mapgen but not existing terrain.

Physics 🔗

• Source liquid always tries to produce more flowing liquid.
• Flowing liquid evens out with its neighbours.
• Thin liquid runs towards holes up to N blocks away.
• If the Jittering setting is enabled, almost even liquid will jitter around randomly, so all bodies even out "eventually".

Mod support 🔗

• default: Finite water and lava replace the 'regular' variants in generation.
• buckets: Custom buckets are supported with basic liquid pickup/place logic.
• mesecons: Pistons can push into liquids and compress them against blocks. (WIP)

    source = "waterfinity:spring",
    flowing = "waterfinity:water",
    
    drain_range = 3,
    jitter = true,
    
    bucket = "waterfinity:bucket_water",

}

• source: Optional. The node for the 'spring' liquid. Infinite, always tries to produce more liquid, absorbs liquid from above.
• flowing: The node for the finite liquid.
• drain_range: Defaults to 3. How far thin liquid will run towards holes.
• jitter: Defaults to true. Whether almost even bodies will jitter when the Jittering setting is enabled.
• bucket: Optional. The prefix for bucket items to be registered for the liquid. E.G. "waterfinity:bucket_water_1"
• bucket_desc: The description for bucket items. E.G. "S("Finite Water Bucket")"
• bucket_images: A list of bucket item textures.
