Streams Wiki & Guide

Rivers only generate in newly created worlds—they won't appear in existing saves. Create a new world and check your game log for river coordinates, or explore along coastlines where rivers often flow into the ocean.

If you're in Creative mode, you can copy the coordinates directly from the log entry and paste them as a `/tp` command (for example: `/tp -24 67 -161`). For Survival mode, you'll need to navigate there manually or switch to Creative to teleport.

No, the mod only generates rivers in brand new worlds. Using it on an existing world would create disconnected river pieces, and the world would become dependent on the mod to load properly.

Yes, the flowing rivers often terminate into the vanilla static rivers that still exist in the world. The two river systems work alongside each other.

You can alter the riverbanks and shorelines by digging, which changes how the water flows. However, you cannot create entirely new rivers since the special flowing water blocks aren't available to players.

Yes, you can travel down the rivers in a boat and let the current carry you downstream. Be prepared for waterfalls and rapids that may appear along the way.

Not guaranteed—river generation depends on the terrain generator, so you may only find one about 25-50% of the time on initial load. If you don't get one, try creating another world.

The rivers are generated as part of world creation and carve out canyons and rapids in the terrain as they flow downhill. This landscape shaping happens during world generation, not dynamically afterward.

Open your Forge launcher profile, click "Edit Profile", and change "Launcher visibility" to "Keep the launcher open". Then when you generate a world, the launcher will stay open and display river coordinates in the log.

These rivers use special water blocks that don't decay or disappear, have a visible current that carries boats, and are generated to flow naturally downhill and merge together. Normal Minecraft water spreads infinitely and has no current.
