Tutorial: making pools of water in Minecraft, the fast way.

[madatgod3102]

Repeat for infinite water. The sea is going bankrupt! LOL

[dimmi62]

You get a bowl with 3 pieces of iron in a V shaped pattern.

[monikazloh]

does anyone here knows where to get that bowl off water??? o.O

[fdfafadfafad]

where do you get bowl off water

[juggalodarkclown]

Ima watch this one more time haha

[htawrew13]

You only need two buckets- fill one block, fill the one next to it, pick it up, then fill the next block, and repeat.

[monkeyslat]

the gravel is useless 

[monkeyslat]

@OakHeart32 if you want that start with 1 deep flat and make the second layer with the same method and so on

water will not make source blocks if it has air or any other non full block

[Viic86]

Excellent tutorial m8. I learned a lot today :)

[PunkyIulia]

boring.. 

[MrJoeGray123]

Can you do this for lava?

[monkeyslat]

@MrJoeGray123 no you must not play minecraft if you dont know that therefore your question is useless

[DemonAMVs]

A better infinite water supply is make a 3 long, 1 wide and 1 deep hole. And fill the 2 ends with source blocks. Take an empty bucket and fill it with water from the middle source block thats created. It automaticly refills without having to move blocks or gravel around.

[HYBRIDcreature]

@DemonAMVs It has a little flaw though - you have to take middle source block or else the supply won't refill. With 2x2 hole you can take any of the 4 source blocks.

[DemonAMVs]

@HYBRIDcreature Yeah your right, I figured that out when I tried it I sort of didn't understand the concept through the video.

[monkeyslat]

@DemonAMVs the gravel isnt needed in anything here . I think he used it just to easily show where to place things, or water was just stupid back then. go beta

[DemonAMVs]

@monkeyslat Yeah I realised that later on when talking to the maker of the video. I use this method now.

[itoko25]

@GummyBrains no i dont kno why but...yeah you cant do this with lava

[Ncs666]

You don't have to block off flowing water to place a source block.

[XxPRxX117]

To collect water with buckets, does the water have to be stagnant? (Not moving)

[CrownedClown89]

for minecraft 2, they should really let us fish. It'd be awesome a good food source, but as we all know, fish is most abundant at night, so the catch for a great food source is to fish at night with all the creepers. And then we can have the option to connect the ocean to our own homemade creeks. just a lil sumthing for Minecraft 2, itd be nice cuz porkchops gets boring.

[RubixB0y]

@CrownedClown89 you can fish and you dont have to go out side you can just make a 3 or 4 deep pool in your house and it'll work just fine

[viperzeroone]

EXCELLENT VIDEO.... I play on a server where water and lava buckets are prohibited, so I held off a long time on my "rock cut" channel because it would have been a pain in the butt for the mods to fill it with water. Thanks to your video (the last example) I got it done super fast and the mods were more than happy to help out. Cheers!

[powxpurplexx]

im new

[TheBronzePker]

Subscribed.

For once some a half decent tutorial, that has information that I found USEFUL.

Thanks for this, found it mighty helpful - Sick to death of 10 year old kids making tutorials, with shit quality mics and terrible music blasting in the background.

[nonamehero2]

Thanks, i've actually been trying to build a lake and it was acting funny. This helped so much.

[apillow14]

does it only work for a square shape or does it work for an irregular shape ?

[josephtchapman]

That was beautiful. Amazing. It really revolutionized my day. I always struggle with water, and it looks all messy.

Thank you so much. I understand now.

[NintendoDevil]

you. are. fantastic

[streetsmartdude]

caN SomEONe pLEAse tel me how to drain large infinite pools for eg a 12x8 pool of still water

[ratchet1freak]

@streetsmartdude fill it with dirt and dig it out again

[nofare]

Awesome video. Thanks.

[thevelvetknight]

You rock dude, thanks for taking the time to make this video.;

[RandomPhail]

If your not on mahinima yet, you should be...

[itssoflaffay]

im trying to make a 80 by 240 pool, 2 squares deep. is there a quicker way to do this?

[rexdaemonicus]

Even if this is an older video. Still seems odd as hell to use solid blocks to lay out a pattern, fill it in with water and then remove the solid blocks.

[LordThree]

Thanks this helped me

[TheJ0026]

but canyou use lava?

[Sodabro999]

How do you get a bucket of water? Sorry. Just started the game..

[1305vishal]

@Sodabro999 u need 3 iron bars, and then just shap them into a bucket

[LaughablePerson]

If your having trouble finding water in the first place then go to an area of the sea or some other non-flowing body of water. Find a part that is only one block deep and in-circle one block of the water with dirt or whatever. You can then pick up that one block of water that is surrounded. I use it when I've found iron but cant find any free flowing water sources yet.

[TheStolken]

For a fast way to make a lake, you sure do spend 2 minutes on an infinite supply of water.

[SlackEffect]

Nice stuff

[SoulSaneAngelis]

Amazing. Great tut.

[Futurised]

good video, cheers 

[Srennie65]

How do i make water in classic multiplayer?

[sammyjon29]

@Srennie65 /water

[thevelvetknight]

dude awesome video. really helped me. exactly what I was looking for!

A++

[nasdas123]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter

[1KingZant]

Ah, cool, this helps. Ive got a small "fishing hole" below my house, so I could probably find a way to manipulate that into a system of canals to take me wherever.

[Red123999]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit ente

[theXylinder]

Thanks a lot!

[jsadecki]

if it works so fast then why is the video so long

[xBlizzerx]

@jsadecki longwinded explanation

[Zephire14]

MY BUCKET IS DEFECTIVE!!! can u collect water from anywhere on the lake? or just a souce block?

[Deathlord820]

what texture are you using?

[Heroslayer5]

@Deathlord820 Painterly Pack.

[notsocomicaltv]

the large pool you demonstrated at the end using the blocks along the side didnt work for me.. my pool was more vast though, i think thats it

[RJrules64]

Thanks slot. Texture pack?

[aaronklapheck]

Great info

[robly17]

wtf in 3:58

is that someone else? O.o

[iLiekpie123123]

Why do you make it so complicated?!?!?!

[DivBMesa]

1 Person does not like water

[bombbarders88]

very smart

[TheHazamukara]

all i do is make a small square and put 2 water on the opposite side to make a pool

[MrAdser5000]

nice vid great idea

[pixonu]

Great tutorial!

[ElXando1993]

Fucking awesome. Cheers.

[MrBrown77]

You actually don't *need* to block off the flowing water before placing a water source block, you can just put a water source block into the flowing water AFAIK

[TheOneWolf13]

@MrBrown77 The gravel is for SMP.

[Lolligator]

There is an easier way to make one, and with that one the chance to take the water-spawner will be lower. Make 3 holes in a row in a vertical line, and put water in the 2 at the side. Now you can take infinite water from the middle. For extra security, place a sign that tells you to take from the middle only.

[DrArcticFox]

@Lolligator or you can make it 2x2 with 1 second of extra effort, and never be able to accidentally take the source out.

[Mcgreag]

A xtreme0ninja said you don't actually need the gravel to do this.

When filling a lake I would say it's easier and faster to do every second block on one side and every second on right angle side. A bit like you did with the canal. Same number of water blocks total to place but no need for gravel, no need to go into the water and you only need to start with 2 buckets as you will have infi-water after those and can just keep picking it up as you go.

[DrArcticFox]

@Mcgreag Yeah, that method should work admirably too. Whether it uses less water is dependent on the configuration of your canal/lake/etc.

Re: gravel, as stated in the description, I wanted this video to be applicable for singleplayer and multiplayer. At the moment, the only way to get water working in multi is the Llamacraft server mod, and that doesn't *quite* emulate the water in singleplayer perfectly. Thus, the gravel.

[VoidOnTuesday]

dope.

[xtreme0ninja]

aaaaannnd.. im retarded and didnt read the description. never mind then

[xtreme0ninja]

you dont need to block it off to put another water source. you can just dump it right in where you want it, even if theres water flowing there.

[sYs73m]

Any issues with water seemingly sinking into the ground and evaporating when following your initial instructions to a T? No matter how many times I try, the water just seeps back into the ground. I'm pulling water from a still pool - the ocean, near the spawn.

[DrArcticFox]

@sYs73m To get water working properly in Multiplayer, your server needs to be running the Llamacraft mod, which provides fixes for both lava and water buckets. Otherwise it'll be exactly as you describe. I've updated the description to incorporate this.

[internetrage]

You can make the initial infinite pool a bit easier - instead of 2x2, dig 3x1, put water source blocks at each end, and take from the middle.

[VoidOnTuesday]

@internetrage the square is easier because you don't have to aim at the middle square of the 3x1. they both take the same amount of water input, and the square outputs 4 infinite sourceblocks to the 3x3's 1 infinite sourceblock. So the square is simpler, and more efficient.

[EricZBA]

Great job, Arctic Fox!

[GoblinAU]

I stand corrected about gravel... I forgot about the chance of picking up flint.

Not that I am allowed to touch it since that little fire mishap.

[i38warhawk]

Very helpful!
