Hardcore Fluid Overhaul

This mod fundamentally changes how players interact with water and lava in the Minecraft world, adding realism and complexity to fluid handling.

Key Changes

Water

It's no longer possible to create infinite water sources in the usual way. When attempting to place a water block, it quickly dissipates, forcing players to design water channel systems for liquid transportation. This change significantly impacts base location selection and water supply organization.

Additional feature: when breaking waterlogged blocks, the contained water also evaporates.

Lava

Lava cannot be collected in buckets, completely eliminating the possibility of transporting it using this traditional method. All constructions using lava must now be built directly at its natural locations.

Compatibility

These changes work excellently with mods that provide mechanical ways to obtain and store fluids, which require additional effort compared to simple bucket transportation.

Inspiration

The mod's functionality is based on ideas from Better Than Wolves Mod, created by FlowerChild and maintained by the CE team.
