Non-flowing liquid

[Sokomine]

Is there a way to create water and lava which will just remain where placed and not start to flow around? Mostly they only have to look like water/lava. It would be good if the nodes could be used to "swim" up (elevator/rope/ladder). Some of the maps I'd like to import use water for kitchen sink, as elevator or for an improvised door.

you can try to retexture the ladder.or smth like thst.

You can use the water texture on your own custom nodes, then it won't flow. You can set climbable = true to make it like a ladder that you can go up. I'm on iPad so hard to paste an example, if your still stuck let me know and I'll post some code tomorrow.

Seems to almost work: can be walked through, can be "climbed", looks like water...however...right now it might be more of a fun item: it makes floor and wall transparent from the water-side. Funny effect. How do I get the first block that isn't water to be drawn?

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
