Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Fresh water

Fresh water would be a new and unique source of water that is a slightly lighter shade of blue than its more common counterpart. It also is more difficult to get your hands on requiring the player to either, find a lake above ground or underground or alternatively requiring regular water to be cooked.

Fresh water doesn't fill in additional water source blocks like regular water does. Regular water would no longer be useful in things like brewing or washing off clothes using a cauldron. Instead fresh water would take on this role. Fresh water can still be collected in various different locations however as all means of aquiring water that are in the base game (rain in cauldrons and coming up, stalagtite dripping) would all be ways of getting fresh water.

Lastly, when regular water comes into contact with fresh water, the fresh water is turned back into regular water. This happens with source blocks as well. This way players will have to watch they don't accidentally ruin their fresh water supply.

    If you take damage from drowning in none fresh water or drinking a normal water bottle you, should feel 'Raw Sickness'. This could take an effect of making your saturation nul.
    On the other hand fresh water bottles, or drowning in Fresh water has no effect.

    There is no way of knowing if the water in the bottle is fresh or not until you drink it.

    I think that when you boil the normal water bottle in a brewing stand, it becomes drinkable as it becomes a potion anyway and potions are difficult enough to make.

    I think this is a brilliant idea because it is important in geology and life on planet earth. Survival of all land organisms depends on it. It also rains so much in minecraft, it would make a refreshingly positive reason to stay playing in such a situation. It would make for an easy fix to the game and make the entire game feel more realistic.
