Soul River Biome

A form of water in the nether called “Soul Water” It appears in rivers that are in the Soul sand valley biome. The water will look like little souls are flowing through it. (Kind of like the soul sand texture) This river is based on the “river of Oblivion and forgetfulness” from the Greek underworld myth. Swimming through the water will give you a potion effect that will weaken and slow you down. It can be used to make a potion of soul poison that slows and weakens you. I think it should be added in to have an alternative to water in the Nether.

    it could be used for farming like crops with exclusive nether farmland that allows you to plant nether crops and it evaporates in the overworld the same way normal water does in the nether

    This "soul water" may be used to create obsidian from within the nether

    What if soul water evaporates in the overworld like normal water in the nether

    @Willem H, maybe obsidian could generate naturally along the banks of the river, alongside basalt.

    Maybe instead of the water evaporating in the overworld it would freeze and turn into useless soul ice that could only be unfrozen in the nether?

    Rather then being it's own biome it could be a rare addition or modification of the soulsoil valley (it could also be an explanation as to how the soul sand became soulsoil)

    A soul poison potion doesn't sound right. I think no potion is needed. The soul river should drain the life (eventually decrease your health until you die) out of players or mobs when swimming in it; putting that effect in a potion makes it less unique.

    I really like this concept and I think it would be something you'd find in the nether!

    I think it should melt non-nether blocks, it would be pretty cool

    Maybe it should be more lava-like, so you could call it Soulava
