Rivers
Do you know any mods that add flowing rivers? (like the Streams mod for Mine$hit). If not, what do you think would be the best way to program such mod?

Re: Rivers
It is very difficult to generate rivers that flow into another in a consistent way (I mean, without going uphill, or making loops). Valleys mapgen has river but they don't fulfill these criteria.
As far as I know there has been only one good attempt to design such a map generator, it was by MillersMan in 2016: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=14380.
It is not a mod but a C++ mapgen (meaning that you would have to recompile Minetest). It was very buggy, but promising, unfortunately there hasn't been further progress on it since June 2016.

Just realize how bored we would be if the world was perfect.

Re: Rivers
migdyn, what do you mean by 'flowing'? =) Any river in MT will consist of 'source' nodes and 'flowing' nodes, however both are stationary.
