Thirsty Bottles
A mod to make water bottles as thirsty as I am.
About this Mod
This mod makes glass bottles consume the block of water that they are used on. This can be helpful for preventing water duplication in modpacks where water blocks are not meant to be infinite. This also encourages players to use cauldrons for filling water bottles as a cauldron will be more efficient than a source block.
