Water will flow from one block to another, if 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. | Water will flow from one block to another, if 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.

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. (In one test, there was a drop of 28 pixels over a span of some 93 blocks with 80-pixel blocks after the water settled.) A significant difference in water height will cause "splash" particles to be produced as the water flows. | Whether water will flow between two adjacent partially filled blocks appears to be determined by comparing their relative levels.
