    Sweet, now just fix the fact that it floats in my hellevator when I dig through a large underground lake (or 10)

    Looks very nice :)

    So, is it just an aesthetic change, or does it actually change the liquid physics? Also, does the gradient count as a block that you can interact with and drown in?

    Not bad, not bad at all. Are you guys also going to fix how much water can be " Moved " before it starts freezing up and requires " Settling "?

    Forget the water, look at the armor!
    The dye on it in both videos is really freaking cool! :D

    I wonder if this will affect waterfalls in any way.

    It's neat but it kinda looks off, now, because the terrain is so blocky still. Maybe I just need to get used to it :p

    Cenx said that the water dupe "feature" will remain in the game, because Red likes it too much to remove. So, things like obsidian generators should still work. I think it amounts to just an aesthetic change.

    vine rope, sweet.
    but a big chest clog if people don't delete it from their inventories xD (probably going to be me)
    bu thinking of that what would this be just like normal ropes and chain or will this be lesser than rope and chain gets a buff i hope so chain needs some better than rope

    The water and lava look really nice now but I didn't mind the blocky look but it's still a cool adition to the game. But you might want to change something that happens to the lava in the after water changes video at 0:44. What happend to the top of the lava looked a bit weird to me but that might just only be me.

    It looks a bit glitchy, but I'm 100% sure it will be better.

    Lava should flow incredibly slow, since the density is quite high,
