Water and Lava Shaping

- Right click any water or lava block with a wooden bowl to lower its level

Tips and Tricks (Icy Caves)
Cave ice can be really annoying to deal with. I recommend using a mod like GoldenTweaks to collect the ice.
You could also use a mod like NowObtainableRecipes to get a sponge to soak up the water from melted ice.
This mod also provides water shaping with a wooden bowl that you could use to remove melted ice water.
Another suggestion is to use an alternative light source in ice caves since torches can be knocked out easily by flowing water.
