I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe. Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow, away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

CHALLENGE: Playing with water...

by Michael Eh? » Tue Feb 28, 2012 15:41

I've been trying various things in local server mode before transporting them to a player server. This time ... fountains.

Image
Same fountain in Sandstone and Stone textures (0.3.1)

Image
Same fountains at night. The only change is I added spot lights (torches) under the water.

Post your pictures of using water in your creations.

Looks great. I love it. Could you also post a quick tutorial on how-to? Thanks for posting.

Not that hard. Just build four 1 by X towers (X = height you want) on a 3x3 grid.

X0X
0G0
X0X

X=Material you want to use
0=Nothing
G = Glass

Once you get the height you want, put the glass 1 block below the top in the middle of it all. Then use a bucket of water and put the water on top of the glass. Then put torches on the sides of the glass.

You can fence it off how ever you like.

I made tunnels under sand with water. And I have made numerous fountains. As well as a few cobble and obsidian generators. And as far as your challenges, GAME ON!

Come to my server. But it's 0.4. Maybe I'll post a link to my map. Eh?
