Dynamic aquatic above-ground features

  So recently, I've thought that adding more water features to the world might make some spots more dynamic and would fit perfectly with 1.19, one example I've thought of is having fallen dark oak trees with rooted dirt at the base with a pocket where the trees roots were filled with water like you can see often in real life, I've also thought that maybe after it rains in game tree leaves could possibly have some sort of water dripping effect. Around waterfalls and ponds you could have mud patches with moss that grows around it.

  You could also even add a new biome called the "wetland" which in a way could be a sub-biome of the swamp that rivers and lakes can connect to like how we see in real life with wetlands connecting to water bodies where chemicals and such go to getting filtered by plants and mud. You could even have it spawn in swamps where its dense in trees and fallen logs.

    The wetland biome could be a small area of a few chunks where you could find sphagnum moss/ peat. It would be cool if the wetland biome was one you could grow and nurture from a small area and get it to expand by looking after it. This could be done by letting the peat spread onto mud blocks next to it at a similar pace to the oxidation of copper. This would be a great way to raise awareness for the value of peat habitats in stopping climate change, while adding a new fun way to play the game. If the player expands the biome more mobs should start to spawn in the wetland and the water in the biome if moved somewhere else could make crops and other plants grow faster because of all the nutrients in it. Developing peat could have the same property as powdered snow letting the player move through it but if something dies in it then it could leave bonemeal instead of its regular drop.
