Transporting water?

[TITOMOSQUITO187]

Saw some videos where people had pools in their caves that they made. They weren't natural. Do you jsut use buckets to transport water there and dump it in?

Aslo, if you do, how does the water work in that how much doess a bucket contain? If you make a pool does the water drain quickly when you dip say glass jars in it for water?

Like in this video at 15:35. It's in German so I cna't understand it. xD

Pretty awsome cave base :D

It will flow like 3 blocks or something, but if u make a pool with 2x2 or 3x3 (not sure) you have an endless pool to refill your buckets

Nice. Thanks. Figured it could be exploited somehow. Like how in Terraria it used to work where if you poured it over a block it would split and double so you only needed one bucket of water to make a giant pool. xD

I didn't watch the video, but all u have to do is carry water in a bucket made from forging iron, you can even easily would water in a whole in the wall makeing a waterfall effect. i usually take the stone directly underneat it so the water just goes there. you can then feel your water right there in your own house, (take from bottom not top)

Cool. I had a nice cave base going before the update, but always wondered how to set up water in there. Now I have to start all over obviously haha

in the alpha 7.1, don't take water from river or pool, use only water bottle, because the water of river and pool are poluate and you lost some like when you drink it, so, fing good water bottle (dropped by zombie), and fill the bucket with the bottle in the craft windows and fill the pool after with the bucket, to have good water...

Or just boil the river water bottles you fill up, turns them into clean bottled water.

ohhh!, it's a thing i have dont' know...

Make a bucket. Fill the bucket with water. (bucket + 1 water).

Make a 1 block deep crater - maximum of 5 bricks worth in size per bucket.

Right click the bucket pointing at the hole. It will fill it.

Follow the steps to convert river water to fresh water when you've filled your bottles up.

Is this still working? I don't get it to work. Perhaps I just don't understand the instruction. :(
When I do it like in MineCraft, 1 deep, 2x2, one bucket with river water in one corner, it fills all 4 positions.
But if I take 2 buckets from anywhere, all the water is gone.

2. Can you really create a pool of clean water from buckets filled from water bottles?

If you thrown down the water from the bucket into your 2x2 pool area, it will fill the area. Using a bucket to pick the water back up from the same 2x2 area will remove the water. It's not unlimited like a river. You could use that area though to fill up glass jars, that is unlimited.

You can not create a pool of clean water. Using a bottle of water to fill a bucket has been removed from the game in the current version of 7.9

ha, thank you, bottles work very well. That is an advantage already!

If you want unlimited water from 1 bucket there are 2 ways to do this currently.

-----------------------------------

A: 2x2 spot, place water in corner (a) then only draw buckets from corner (d) (opposite). A bucket will only remove 3 spots of water in this setup (b, c, and d), and as long as you don't drain the source block (a) the water will refill.

Key: (1) = 1 high wall, (a) = water source block

(1)(1)(1)(1)
(1)(a)(b)(1)
(1)(c)(d)(1)
(1)(1)(1)(1)

------------------------------------

B: The easier (but risky) setup, with this you won't have to worry where you draw water from. For this you need another 2x2 spot, but you also need to build up 2-3 blocks on the corner above (a). Tossing the bucket into the new elevated corner will cause water to flow down into the 2x2 section, and make it so the source block has no chance of removal while pulling water from below. The risk comes if any of the 3 top blocks (Top: (0)) are destroyed, when destroyed the water loses it's boundaries and will flood anything around it. So if this method is used keep chests and any other important placed items away. Also it will eat through any block that is not a solid square or diamond (plywood, doors, etc.).

Key: (0) = 2 high wall, (1) = 1 high wall, (w) = water source block

Bottom-----------Top
(0)(0)(1)(1)-----(0)(0)
(0)(a)(b)(1)-----(0)(w)
(1)(c)(d)(1)
(1)(1)(1)(1)
