Witch Water, Brine & Strainers
Two strange fluids and the block that fishes in one of them.
Witch water#
Drop
Ancient Spores into a barrel of water, or stand a barrel of water on mycelium, and it brews into witch water. A witch standing on a barrel fills it with witch water too.

Brine#
Made from kelp in a barrel of water. Pouring a bucket into water turns up to eight water sources into brine. A pool of twelve or more slowly fills with fish, squid, turtles (with sand beside it) and, in big pools, dolphins. Coral beside brine grows into a reef, and dead coral comes back. Fishing in brine catches sea loot; silkworms held in either hand are bait.

Strainers#
A strainer is a frame of logs and string that catches things from the water. It only works sitting in brine: at least two of its four sides and its top must touch brine. Every so often it collects an item; take them out by hand or with a hopper.
