Flow Control – Streams Reflowing Addon

Direct the flow. Automate your waterways. Keep your boats where they belong.

Programmable currents · Calm harbors · Redstone automation · Optional Create integration

Flow Control expands Streams Reflowing with tools for shaping currents, creating calm water, monitoring waterways and securing boats. Build controlled canals, peaceful docks and automated water systems without reshaping your rivers or moving water blocks.

🌊 Shape your waterways

• Current Generator: Maintain a directional current with adjustable strength and an eight-way compass, including diagonal headings.
• Stillwater Anchor: Create calm water around docks, harbors and waterside builds.
• Adjustable coverage: Configure horizontal radius and vertical reach to fit your waterway.
• Connected water only: Restrict a controller to its connected body of water, leaving nearby separate pools untouched.
• Two configurable profiles: Prepare Profile A and Profile B with directed, reversed, calm or natural-flow behavior.

Controller areas persist in your world. Breaking a controller removes its override, allowing the underlying current to resume.

🔧 Meet the Flow Calibrator

The former Flow Wand is now the Flow Calibrator: a tool for inspecting water and managing your controller network.

• Inspect currents: Read current strength, direction and whether the flow comes from natural water, a controller or an older wand edit.
• Copy and paste settings: Transfer compatible settings between controllers, sensors and mooring posts.
• Link controllers: Select a source, then a target to make the target follow the source’s profiles while the source is loaded.
• Show range outlines: Check coverage around your setup.
• Remove legacy edits: Clear old wand overrides to restore natural flow.

Controls: Sneak-use in the air to cycle calibrator modes. Use in the air to toggle range outlines. In Link mode, select the source controller first and the target second; sneak-use a linked controller to unlink it.

⚙ Automate with redstone

Choose how your controllers respond to redstone instead of relying on a single on/off behavior.

• Pause when powered to stop a controller’s override.
• Always active to ignore redstone input.
• Analog strength to control current strength with signal levels from 0–15.
• Reverse when powered to change the current’s direction.
• Switch Profile A / B to alternate between two prepared configurations.

📏 Monitor the water

The Flow Sensor reads water within configurable horizontal and vertical reach, providing comparator output for your redstone systems.

• Current strength: Output ranges from 0 for still water to 15 for maximum strength.
• Compass direction: Eight headings produce distinct outputs, from N=1 through NW=8.
• Nearby boats: Output increases by one level per detected boat, up to 15, with an option to count empty boats only.

⚓ Give your boat a proper berth

The Mooring Post secures an empty boat at your dock. Enable automatic mooring to catch an available boat within range.

• Secures one empty boat per post.
• Board the boat to release it.
• Apply redstone power to release the boat and pause mooring.

Stillwater Anchors and Mooring Posts serve different purposes: an anchor removes current-induced drift, while a mooring post secures the boat itself. Calm water alone does not cancel existing momentum, steering or collisions.

⚙ Optional Create integration

With Create installed, the Mechanical Current Generator lets you drive currents using rotational power.

• Bottom shaft input connects to your kinetic setup.
• RPM controls current strength.
• Reversing rotation reverses the flow.

Create is optional. Flow Control’s standard controllers, calibrator, sensors and mooring posts work without it.

📦 Requirements — 0.2.2

Install matching Flow Control and dependency versions on both client and server.

Older Minecraft and loader releases remain available. Their dependencies and available features differ; check the individual file before downloading. Fabric builds also require Fabric API.

💧 About water behavior

Flow Control changes water currents and movement. It does not reshape the water surface, excavate canals or rewrite river terrain.
