Minecraft water.

From testing in Classic, water in Minecraft seems to be infinite and always fill any adjacent free spaces (and never exhaust its supply)

I did some stupid little test by cutting off on block of water from everyother source of water on the map. I arranged it like this ("O"=Open space/"B"=block"/"W"=Water Block):

O-O-B-W

If water in minecraft acted like real water, breaking the block should fill each block with a third of the original water block's height. However, it instantly fills all three up to the max.

And yes, I know that Minecraft does not have realistic physics.

It was pretty fun dicking around with water, though.

    This is interesting and all (not sarcasm, it is), but shouldn't it go in the other Minecraft thread?

    Also, I need to buy Minecraft.

    Minecraft water in Beta behaves more like an extremely fast flowing yet paradoxically viscous fluid. It makes no fucking sense, and it is great.

    Okay...?


    Sponges suck up water in Classic, but they literally project a sort of "barrier"--if you go in water and place a sponge, it will push the water back, so it's standing up against gravity....what.

    I love Minecraft water.  I saw this mod for realistic (in other words, finite and flowing more realistically) water and thought "why would anyone want realistic water when they can have Minecraft water?"

    What the fuck

    I tried making a river and ended up making this HUEG lake.

    It was absolutely hilarious. I made a "dam" of one block, and then I carved out a tunneI through a plateau and carved out a beach--I made a little lake, then I went to the other side and carved out a one block river to another lake. I broke the "dam".

    Due to the way I made the tunnel, it ended up flooding the entire second beach.

    Water in the free to play version behaves differently indeed.  you can flood the world if you wanted to.

    Turtle: Because there are some things that are easier to do with finite water supplies like draining lakes, making rivers, ponds, lakes etc. 

    The finite water mod has both finite and infinite water.

    I just spent 30 minutes dicking around with water and creating rivers and lakes.

    the fuck

    This is Minecraft.  Time has no meaning.

    I believe one of the ideas of finite water mod was to also incorporate rain fall as a means to slowly fill up water sources and possibly introduce flooding.

    I want a half-block of Water, so I can simulate droughts. Or at least make sponges DESTROY water blocks.
