Building underwater is a pain in the butt. You have to take a bunch of blocks, and build a gigantic shape. Then, you have to break all of the blocks you just placed and start building. This is easier said than done. You could ask ANYONE, and they'll all say that building underwater is ridiculously annoying and takes ages. And you might say, why not use sponges? Well, sponges are useless if you're building in a large body of water. What's worse is that if you want to build something big, you'll need more blocks! If only there was an easier way to build underwater. That's where my idea comes in, Flextape the bubble projector!
The bubble projector is crafted using prismarine, iron, and magic raindrops, which come from enemies called droplets. Droplets fall from the sky during the rain, and are basically just water slimes. Just place it down, and a massive force-field will form around it. It will start off as 5x5x5, but you can give it more magic raindrops, which can increase the size up to a maximum of 16x16x16. In the force-field, all of the water that was once there is pushed to the side, to create a completely water-free area. You can still place water inside the force-field, however, so stuff like agriculture is still possible. The force-field is similar to that of a world border, where it isn't an actual block, but is actually just a thin, walk-through wall. You can also join multiple bubble projectors together to make a bigger force-field. Below is the crafting recipe, with the Ghast Tear representing the magic raindrop.
There you have it, my solution to building underwater. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Does this mean that there are actual force-field blocks stopping water from flowing into the bubble, or are we using some kind of other method to stop water from flowing back in?

Ehhh... Maybe Support?
I like this idea somewhat. I don't really like the idea of upgrading the machine using more droplets, though. I think that the projector should be a one-time purchase that does a consistent amount of work. The main reason I have for this is that if I plan on using actual blocks rather than force fields for my base, I'll probably just place this down to clear the area of water, build my base and then pick up the machine since my base is watertight.
I'm not sure about the logic behind using magic water to create a bubble in actual water. Maybe if there was an air-related mob drop or item?

My avatar is a texture from a small block game I made in Python. It's not very good and it probably won't work if you install it.
I'm very alone in my Minecraft worlds as I don't have a very good internet connection to run a server. If you're like me, you might be interested in my Posse mod suggestion.
I talked about droplets in a another thread called Random Mob Ideas. It's a blue slime that falls from the sky when it rains. On its initial fall, it will do twice as much damage than it would do normally if it lands on you.
While I appreciate you trying to avoid a wishlist, it's only a wishlist if ideas are entirely disjointed. For example if you put the forcefield and droplet In the same thread, but made it so the magic rain wasn't used to craft the field, it would be a wishlist, but because they are related through the rain, it wouldn't be a wishlist.

Isn't this what sponges are for?
Also, I don't think that word you used in the first sentence is allowed on this forum.... Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
Check out my suggestions! Here is one of them:
