Usage

Hoses/Spigots requiring a Block O' Water is a configurable value in common configs. It is enabled (true) by default.

The Block O' Water is an infinite water source that works with the Spigot and Hose items. It has a radius of effect for 15 blocks in any direction outwards (including up or down) from the water block. When placed, right clicking a hose or spigot will allow the items to function.


Trivia

The use of an enderpearl in crafting a block of water is to represent the magical element of water transportation to spigots and hoses without the need for physical plumbing. Initially, it was intended that SWEM water sources would require realistic planning to source water to a player's property. However, while realistic it would also challenge the adventure-driven aspect of the mod when players could not use their hoses or spigots rurally or when travelling without additional work. With the Block O' Water you can take your water source with you!
