Makes fluid physics more realistic

About this Mod
Requires SKDS Core !
It will add a new mechanic to the game that makes survival much more difficult, and making it much more interesting - Fluid Physics.

There is physics for all fluids, water, lava and others, from any mod.
This mod will remove the infinite water source and break all vanilla mob farms.

Placing a block in water will not destroy it, but push it out. Water can also be pushed with pistons to make simple mechanisms.

If you have any ideas or find bugs, I would be glad if you report it.
