+To use a watering can, you have to first fill it up. Rightclick with it on water. Alternatively,
+you can refill the watering can by crafting (empty watering can + any water bucket).
 Your watering can is now full. To use it, you have to rightclick on a node which can be made wet.

 The watering can uses the “tool wear” bar to indicate how much water is left.
