New Water Physics

I think the current water behavior is outdated and involves many workarounds. Actual water physics with 16x16x16 cubes per block could be great with the old physics remaining as a world option.

    Controversially, I would make the ability to swim or boat against a gradient more realistic. You can swim or boat up a 50% gradient, but no more than that. Its absolutely mad that you can swim directly up a waterfall but your boat sinks even in just the a one block water level difference.

    So boating up river = yes, water elevators = no, clearly ridiculous.

    I would use this opportunity to improve rivers - currently rivers remain totally flat at sea level, even when the landscape around them rises. Instead, rivers should go up with the land - this would effectively be a series of one-block steps that look and function like rapids, but that boats are able to traverse in both directions (they can manage one block up or three blocks down without sinking). Going up a water-step slows the boat down, going down it speeds you up.
