Waterworks

The Waterworks mod adds an immersive way to obtain water as a resource, by mining and melting snow and by building wells, where you can hook empty buckets to it that you actually have to wind down to groundwater level (clay) to fill them with water.

The idea of this mod is not to limit your creativity in building wells, but rather let you build and design your own, custom ones, like this one, where you can attach a hook with an empty bucket to a ropedrum. Once done, you can wind it down to groundwater level to start the "crafting process" and fill it with water. This works thanks to Equinox's VoxelPowerProvider.
Furthermore, I implemented mining snow, which gives you snowballs, that you can then melt to water in a campfire.
This means water even becomes a local resource, but the rule of thumb is: if there's clay or snow, there's also water.

• Water in humid biomes (grassland, forests, jungles) is easy to get, since the groundwater level is quite high.
  
• You won't find any groundwater under mountains, rocky landstrips or in dry deserts
  
• There is groundwater in desert oasis, but you'd have to dig deeper as in humid biomes.

• Snowballs do not melt in warm biomes
  
• After producing a bucket of water, you should always get the product out of the inventory first, before inserting a new empty bucket in the toolhead slot. Otherwise the filled bucket gets removed due to some limitations in the crafting system.

Another big thanks to Equinox, who scripted a dampening component that lets me get rid of the eternal wiggling of the hook on a rope, and to STORI3D PAST, to let me use his water texture for my buckets.

NOTE:
This mod does not do anything on its own, other than providing the resources. It's rather a base mod for other mods to use, such as the Advanced Building Materials and Paintable Blocks mods. Modders are welcome to use this mod as a dependency for their own mods.
