Waterworks Mod

Waterworks Mod 1.16.5, 1.15.2 adds serveral water collecting mechanics.

Waterworks Mod 1.16.5, 1.15.2 (Several Water Collecting Mechanics) 1

Water mechanics in Minecraft were always quite boring, because it is simply infinite. Finite Water Control and Infinite Fluids add a way to get finite water. Waterworks works with both options but for the optimal experience, you should activate finite water.

Features:

Raintank Early game rain collection block with a small inventory for water and automating.
Multiblock Raintank This collection will need some more materials and comes as an multiblock. It will generate water a bit more quickly and uses the connected collectors as multiplier. The shape of your structure is on your side but there is configurable maximum range from the controller block.
Groundwater Pump This pump need clear sight to bedrock, to get the water from beneath. It will make use of forge energy for each pump operation.
Rain Rocket Craft some ghast tears with a Minecraft firework rocket to get your own rain rocket. Values for maximum ghast tear multiplier and rain duration are configurable.
Anti Rain Rocket Craft some sponges with a Minecraft firework rocket to get your own anti rain rocket. Values for maximum sponge multiplier and clear sky duration are configurable. This rocket drops wet sponges after usage.

Blocks

Water Pipe

The Water Pipe is a decorative block. It is a crafting component for the Rain Collector, Rain Collector Controller and Groundwater Pump
The Groundwater Pump needs this block to build a pipe to the Bedrock.

Waterworks Mod 1.16.5, 1.15.2 (Several Water Collecting Mechanics) 18

Rain Tank

The Rain Tank is a early game block which collects rain. Needs a proper biome and clear line of sight to the sky.
This block is a component for Rain Collector Controller and Groundwater Pump.

Waterworks Mod 1.16.5, 1.15.2 (Several Water Collecting Mechanics) 19

Rain Collector

The Rain Collector is part of the Rain Collector multiblock structure. The block itself can not do anything. You need a Rain Collector Controller to make use of it. When connected with a Controller, you can access its fluid tank and inventory.

Waterworks Mod 1.16.5, 1.15.2 (Several Water Collecting Mechanics) 20

Rain Collector Controller

This block is the heart of the Rain Collector multiblock structure. Place down the controller. On its cardinal point faces you can place down Rain Collectors. Use the Pipe Wrench with a right click on the Controller to let it search for connected collectors.

Invalid Construction

Groundwater Pump

The Groundwater Pump needs clear sight to Bedrock. You can insert Water Pipes in the right slots of the GUI. The Pump will try to build a long pipe down to the Bedrock. In order to get Water you must feed it with power. The Forge Energy system is available for you in this case. The mod itself does not have any FE generating blocks.
When breaking the Groundwater Pump it will try to break all connected Water Pipes too. A default option is to place a safety Stone Slab which closes the hole temporarily.

Items

Pipe Wrench

This Wrench can connect the Rain Collector Controller with its Rain Collectors. Right click on a Controller to let is search for valid Collectors. Right click a Collector to give information if it already has a Controller connection.
