It's possible for water to flow from one block to another, either when an adjacent block is removed, a block is added in space occupied by water, or when a [[Bucket Of Water|bucket of water]] is emptied. Water will seek to fill the lowest available space but will not decrease in volume doing so, which can result in spaces being partially filled with water. | It's possible for water to flow from one block to another, either when an adjacent block is removed, a block is added in space occupied by water, or when a [[Bucket Of Water|bucket of water]] is emptied.

This can cause unexpected problems as water will dislodge placed [[items]] such as [[ladder]]s or [[Oil Lantern|oil lanterns]], dropping them for pick-up by the next Blockhead that passes them. | ||
Whether water will flow between two adjacent partially filled blocks appears to be determined by comparing their relative levels. If there is insufficient difference, there will be no flow. This can result in a very gentle, descending gradient across long expanses. | Whether water will flow between two adjacent partially filled blocks appears to be determined by comparing their relative levels.
