Hardcore Fluid Overhaul

A simple mod that changes how the player interacts with water and lava in the world.

Inspired by *Better Than Wolves*, it reintroduces meaningful logistics and planning around fluid use.

---

💧 Water

• Water source blocks cannot be placed.
  Instead, water dissipates shortly after being placed.

  This encourages building water channels and choosing your base location carefully.

• Waterlogged blocks also lose their stored water when broken.

---

🔥 Lava

• Lava cannot be acquired using buckets.

  Lava-based contraptions must be built where lava naturally occurs.

---

These mechanics pair well with mods that add mechanical or industrial fluid handling, requiring effort and infrastructure instead of simple bucket transport.

⚙️ Configuration (via Mod Menu)

This mod provides several configurable options:

Lava Pickup

• Toggle whether lava can be collected with buckets,
  or whether doing so damages the player and destroys the bucket (default behavior).

Source Fluid Block Pickup

• Toggle if collecting a fluid source with a bucket consumes the source block.

Waterlogging

• Toggle whether waterlogging blocks is enabled.

Dissipating Waterlogged Blocks

• Toggle if waterlogged blocks should dissipate when broken.

Dissipating Ice Blocks

• Toggle if ice releases dissipating water when broken.

Persistent Water in the End

• In Better Than Wolves, water can be placed normally in the End.
  Toggle this if you don’t want that behavior.
