In Minecraft, the ability to create an infinite water source can be a game-changer, especially during challenges like Skyblock. This essential survival skill allows players to have a steady water supply without the need to travel far to find water bodies.
Method 1: The 2×2 Grid
The simplest method to create an infinite water source involves placing two water source blocks in a diagonal 2×2 grid. This method only requires four blocks total, as the two diagonal blocks will automatically convert into water source blocks once the first two are in place.
To apply this method:
- Craft two buckets: Collect water from a nearby river, lake, or ocean.
- Place the buckets: Position the source blocks in a diagonal pattern within a 2×2 area.
Method 2: The T-shaped Hole
For players looking to generate infinite water using just one water source, a slightly more complex method is available:
- Dig a T-shaped hole: Structure the hole so that it has a cross-like shape, with one block raised higher than the ground level from which the water flows.
- Fill the top section: Add a water source block adjacent to the raised block, allowing the water to flow down into the T-shaped hole.
- Create seagrass: Use bonemeal on the dug-out area to generate seagrass, then collect the water from the source.
To finalize the infinite water supply, you can also dig a 2×2 grid and move the water you’ve created diagonally opposite to the original water source.
