Do you think this should be added?

All of you water bending fans i'm sure you all know waterspout isn't exactly as everyone wants it. So i'm gonna suggest making an animation for waterspout to make it feel like a propelling spout of water. It might be tricky, but i'm sure it's possible! the default spout is too boring and calm.

It really isn't possible. This has been suggested multiple times. It can only be done with the one block thing unless you want a lag bomb of particles.

Pickle, no particles are needed actually...
In the series, waterspouts always hang a bit too the side... Maybe we could do the same for the plugin?
For example, when you move left, first then top part would move left, then the middle and then the bottom

The main problem with the Minecraft engine is that... well.. blocks. It should be understood that plugins can only take what resources are already in Minecraft and bend them into something else. Plugins cannot create custom items, animations, mobs, effects, particles, and the like. A swirling vortex just isn't possible.

I know what you mean. I understand you. This suggestion isn't possible but perhaps what I said is:

We've always seen waterspout like this. When the bender moves the spout, it begins to hang a bit til the whole spout is moving.

Ahh, I get'cha. I kind of like the idea. I'd like it more if it wouldn't look so awkward with just a random looking Tetris block shift, but oh well. :p

But it would look more like you "drag" it instead of a derby stream of water at your feet. That's what has been bothering me c:

I don't know, I feel like using a few particles near the top to represent all the splashing between the spout and the player might remedy that... slightly.

It actually happened before, its just illegal at the moment...

There could be more than one animation for waterspout and there could be a command for changing it quickly.
Heres and e.g if the animation for the water spout is laggy and the owner wants it to stop lagging then he/she could change it to a new animation with the command and it could be like this /bending options waterspout {animation name/number here}

I remember Orion actually having this on his server, it was a nice effect and didn't lag at all.
