Broken Vertical Waterfall/Mistake I'm Not Seeing?

[lizard kisser]

Hey. I'm starting a new world and building my base, and I was doing this pristine church theme, marble walls and stained glass, etc. On the left and right stained glass windows, I designed overflowing jugs of water, and I was going to use vertical waterfalls to make that effect look real. However, I can't get the waterfalls to work as pictured on the terraria gamepedia.

For those unfamiliar with how vertical waterfalls work, I'll be posting pictures, but here's a basic text visual.

[Block] [Water] [Water] [Water] [Block]
[Block] [Half b] [Half b] [Half b] [Block]
---------[----------Waterfall--------]----------

As long as the water is contained, it should't matter if the blocks to the bottom left and right are blocks or air, or even other half blocks letting water out. At least, that's what I thought. Assistance, or confirmation of a bug, is appreciated.

UPDATE: Nvm I just can't read because I'm a dumbarse. The Gamepedia page states "Vertical waterfalls are not visible to the player on Retro or Trippy lighting".

I'll leave this up as a cautionary tale lol
