This post is about detailing the feature mentioned in the following post: End Oasis (New End Biome with blue palm trees and Ether Ponds).
The looks: I would say for keeping as described there, "having a disorienting animated texture (like the End Portal)". So basically, looking at this fluid makes players loose sense of orientation, possibly forgetting were they are or facing at.
Flowing behavior: It flows to fill up the blocks surrounding the source block, even upwards. It could be up to 2 blocks beyond the source, so up to 5 blocks wide total. The flow could be faster than water, or slower than lava (What do you think?).
Interaction with entities: No Mobs should be able to breathe there, and wont be allowed to swim either (could have some exceptions for End mobs). The source block could have the effect of fast pushing the player (and mobs) to exterior, so it wont be that destructible for players falling at the pond. This also means it could work as a "teleportation" system, like a teleportation rail for distance traveling (Hold your breath). This could be applied to items, and maybe render water channels and almost any current elevator system obsolete, apart from the high cost.
Gathering: With a bucket. It could feel weird as it flows even upwards, but lets say it has some "magnetic" interactions with iron.
Renewability: I Would like to make this renewable in some way, but maybe this needs new features.
Others: New blocks could generate with interactions with this fluid.
