Well that IS more realistic but yeah should be fixed.

this is rather damned annoying, reminds me of Beta 1.4.

i'm kinda stuck in a cave now because i'm having trouble swimming back up against the water 😞

I was caving, couldn't find my original entrance, so i started making a step tunnel up to the surface. About half way up, i broke into a pool of water, could no longer fight the water, couldn't swim up the water, basically i was stuck and had to make a new tunnel elsewhere.

@Rolf:
Did you use 1.4.3pre? Becuase, that bug occurs only in 1.4.3, not in 1.4.2.
Just tested it, confirmed. Just simply fighting agains any stream of water doesnt work.

Oops.. gonna love making mistakes like this. Removed my original comments as its boneheaded mistakes.

This also happen in creative mode. Place water on the ground, try to reach the source.

I planned do a whole survival adventure on 1.4.3, but i won't due this bug. Kinda makes a survival adventure unplayable. I guess i will have to wait for 1.4.4.

Not only this, but if you fall into a player made lake where he/she just put a layer blocks over the lake and covered it with water then removed the layer of blocks so that the water would flow down and fill the lake then you will find it impossible to swim up, since the water under the first layer of source blocks is actually flowing down.

I'm stuck in my mine, with water or bedrock on all sides.

Guys, its already fixed in 1.4.4.
