Uneven water flow with EWG installed

[rxdn]

To Reproduce Build a structure similar to the following (stone is for easy counting purposes, don't place it):

That's 8 blocks on the bottom, 2 on the upper ledge. Place water across the back of the upper ledge, as follows:

As shown, water will flow unevenly. You don't need to build the whole structure to reproduce this, just a 5 block wide path will do.

Note, if you place all of the water at once, it will flow correctly, as there is no water in place to stop its flow

Expected behavior Water flows evenly, like it does without EWG installed:

Screenshots Screenshots already attached above

this looks like a normal minecraft bug not a world gen bug, it looks like there is only one flowing source block which would cause that odd pattern.

Negative, it's not a world generation thing per-se, rather EWG's control-water-flow option in the settings.json file. With it set to false, vanilla behaviour occurs, with it set to true, the issue detailed in the issue occurs

Set control-water-flow to false

Set control-water-flow to false

This is a temporary bypass for the issue, not a fix. The bug still very much exists, which is an even bigger issue since it's enabled by default.

Waiting over a month to have the issue closed and the temporary bypass that I mentioned repeated to me is not satisfactory

Sadly, there is no other way to "fix" the issue. Vanilla water behaviour won't work with rivers falling down form lakes at top of mountains. It is either removing the rivers or keeping a different water flow.

I still see your point, and appreciate your feedback. I will take a second look and see if there is anything else I can do
