Streams Reflowing

Streams Reflowing

Streams Reflowing weaves wonderful waterways to your Minecraft world. Streams follow terrain contours, flow downhill, pool into lakes at varying elevations, and drain all the way out to rivers and oceans oceans. Rivers now also get a consistent directional flow towards oceans. The first ever mod to bring realistic hydrology to ANY terrain, built for compatibility first, it works alongside ALL of your favorite world generation mods, into any landscape without conflict.

The mod is optimized for smooth creative-mode exploration on vanilla-based world generation, and smooth survival exploration while alongside heavy terrain-generation mods on the default quality preset. On heavily modded worlds or lower-end systems, consider lowering your quality preset or disabling flowing vanilla water for a smoother experience.

_Streams Reflowing is not affiliated with or in any way derived from delvr's original Streams mod. It's built on entirely new mechanisms and design philosophy, the name is simply a nod to the spirit of that original creation._

Primary Features:

Terrain-Following Streams

Streams carve their way through the world organically, reading elevation and terrain shape to produce waterways that feel like they actually belong. Stream generation is fully configurable, and can be disabled entirely if you only want the vanilla behavior tweaks.

Lakes and Ponds at Varying Elevations

Lakes and ponds now generate at varying elevations, fitting naturally into the existing terrain, and providing realistic pools for streams to flow in and out of. In drier biomes a lake fills to a lower level (covering less ground), and a dryness-scaled share of basins stay dry altogether, so wet biomes keep full lakes while arid ones get shallow ponds and empty beds.

Rivers Drain to Oceans (optional)

Any river (vanilla or modded) now has a directional flow that drains to nearby oceans when connected. Boats and items will bob downstream alongside fallen leaves and twigs. Can be disabled in config.

Organic Water Flow

Vanilla Minecraft stops flowing water dead in its tracks the moment it hits a water source block. Streams Reflowing allows water to continue flowing over source blocks, preserving momentum and direction so elevation drops produce natural cascades rather than flat pools. This behavior is configurable and can be toggled off independently of other features.

World Gen Compatible

Designed for compatibility first, Streams Reflowing comes with no biome conflicts, no worldgen fights, just streams and lakes cleanly integrated with all of your favorite world-gen mods. Streams Reflowing is tested and proven to work with countless terrain mods, and has so far only been found incompatible with Terrain Diffusion and Tellus.
