There are a few mods that make use of ice but having to travel 20k blocks for some glacier ice when you have perfectly fine ice at your doorstep in winter seemed unreasonable.

Patches the lake ice block to be harvestable with any base game saw and unless vanilla changes that block somehow in a weird way compatible with almost all versions going forward.

Future plans may be to include a custom ice saw model and item. But those are far off plans

I mean, not that big of an issue. You already technically need a saw to move water (saw > planks > bucket). The other mod you mentioned used pickaxes instead, leading to a bigger sequence break where you can move water before you get access to an anvil.

Although, I guess you're right about the "create water source", since it would make it possible to have infinite water even if "Prevent liquid source transport by buckets" is turned on. For that...

Hey mod dev, I got a suggestion: Lake ice broken by saw shouldn't leave a water source behind. You think you could do that?

This is the same as https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/14853  And just a warning: this mod will break certain aspects of gameplay as you can now move/create water sourceblocks by placing a block of ice anywhere and let it melt.
