Infinite water glitch?

[JimmyChanga]

so some how when i was making my unerwater base i caused some sort of infinite water glitch? i made an airlock using 2 tall gates and 2 in/outlet pumps and some how the water level rose by about 5-6 block in the ocean. is there anyway to reduce the oceans level so i can keep my airlock?

Water is pretty easy to dupe. When water goes down a staircase, you get a tiny amount more water than you started with.

Your best bet is to make an infinite Lava generator and just mass-produce Obsidian.

Output pumps produce slightly more liquid than the input pumps removed. The devs have apparently stated that this will not be fixed. It should therefore be considered a feature.

You can use a super absorbant sponge to get rid of the excess water.

Regarding a more permanent solution for the removal of water, I suggest setting up an inlet pump just above the regular sea level and pumping any excess water to the underworld.

Finally, a fun bit of trivia. Prior to the release of 1.2.3 you could use a hellforge to remove water. This allowed players to quickly drain an ocean or lake. The more you know!

Not really, the same tricks that work for water and lava work for honey. It's just slower.

At worst you shouldn't really have trouble finding water, so you'll either pump all the water with buckets in a newly generated world or in the worst of the worst case just open a map editor and flood a water container
