Geysers facing any direction

Omnidirectional Geysers should be added. To be clear, I’m suggesting that Geysers can erupt not only vertically upwards, but also in any horizontal direction or vertically downwards, depending on the placement of the water, potent sulfur, and lava/magma. Although they wouldn’t generate this way naturally, a player could experiment with Geysers in other directions than upwards and find that it doesn’t work. But what if it did? This would increase the versatility and chaos of the geyser, and would allow players to use wind more often in their builds. Even now, you can add transparent blocks as to not block the geyser, and in this case it would block the water from flowing downward or out… like a scaffolding block.

  This is good. I can picture a parkour map where geysers are coming out of anywhere and everywhere to knock you down.

  This should be a mod but not a feature, because irl there are no geysers facing down or something like that

  I think this would be a nice addition.
  We could use copper grates (waterlogged or not) to prevent water from flowing while still allowing steam to go through them.
  Also, I don't think this should be a mod instead of a vanilla feature simply because there are no sideways or downwards geysers in real life. Minecraft is not real life.

  There is already a mod on Modrinth called Better Geysers, but it would be a really fun addition to Vanilla.
