Add Waterfall Splash/Foam Animations

under review

Minecraft waterfalls are so boring and sad to look at.  Rather than having to use repeating command blocks that spawn particles at the bottom, water should have its own system where water particles and foam will actually splash and roar sound based on the height of the water column (fall).

    This is actually a pretty good idea. If possible, I would suggest making this based on the size of the waterfall, too, not just the height.

    Yes please.  I was just about to post this myself.  

    A longer fall should give a deeper sound, as well as a wider waterfall.  However, the amount of foam should be solely based on the height of the fall.

    more particles = more lag 

    so we would have a bit of a trade off

    some people may say that particles may equal lag, but just add texture animations for the water blocks below it

    This sounds great! Should probably be toggleable in the video settings or something

    Rushing water should also have a lighter color.

    That would be great, but it could create lag, for low-end at least so there should be an option to disable it.

    And just make everything about above ground waterfalls look better also, not just a single water source coming out the side of a mountain

    It would be cool if they added foam...this could also come with an animation where fishes jump out and back into the water under waterfalls. Or even randomly. This would be good for 1.16

    That will make a good addition to Minecraft but the were dose the water fall end one example like stream leading to the ocean and they can be spawn in mega taiga taiga and also planes biome.

    It could even be added to the still rivers to make them appear as if they are flowing.

    This would be really useful for the new ray traced Minecraft since the water is hardly visible and this would really help it to stand out.

    This idea is a great addition to the game's up-to-date water mechanics.
    I would like to see more vivid waterfalls

    Some people say this could cause lag but in that case just turn down your settings or get a better device

    Lava-falls should make smoke particles / animations
