I know this isnt the first time this has been suggested
But im going to make this original (as far as i know)
Water is incredibly unrealistic right now.
This would change that!
Water would have 3 different types:
1. Ocean Water
2. Flowing water
3. Water source
Ocean water, would always be at the same level and would fill oceans and LARGE lakes
Ocean water that is touching a non-water block would turn into a water source
And water that comes out of that source is flowing.
Any small water chamber underground or small lake would be Finite
Every water source block would only release 4 full water blocks and 3 half water blocks before it destroys itself
Oh so no infinite water sources your saying. I kinda like them...
Ocean would be infinite, but would turn into finite....
Much better this way.
And it totally makes sooooo much sense for water to only flow 7 meters before stopping, even when an ocean is pouring over into a huge valley
While I understand what you are saying in that it is not realistic, and it's not, it gives Minecraft a certain feel that suits it well. Does real life include 16 bit textures, zombies, living skeletons, and other fantasy creatures?
This seems more like an upgrade to the alpha water. I actually don't like this idea and would rather updated water that has an area to flow into calculate what to do then flow fast into the area, recalculating only if there is a block update in that area. This idea would be too choppy to happily implement.

Think it would work?

YES.
