Water occurs naturally on the surface of a generated [[World|world]] in the form of ponds, lakes, and [[Ocean|oceans]]. It can also spawn underground. | Water occurs naturally on the surface of a generated [[World|world]] in the form of ponds, lakes, and [[Ocean|oceans]]. It can also spawn underground. | ||

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.

Water will flow over drop-offs and "slosh" across the top of blocks. This can cause unexpected problems as water will dislodge placed [[Items|items]] such as [[Ladder|ladders]] or [[Lantern|lanterns]], dropping them for pick-up by the next Blockhead that passes them. | |||

Using a [[Bucket|bucket]] on water will change the bucket into a "bucket of water."

This can be done on even partially filled spaces if the water level is high enough. The minimum level of water that can be picked up in a bucket is believed to be 20% (one fifth) of a block. | ||
Free-standing water in an [[Biome|area]] experiencing sufficient cold (such as falling [[Weather|snow]]) may freeze into [[Ice|ice]]. Under warmer conditions, ice may melt into water. | |||

A [[Blockhead]] who has its head fully immersed in water will suffer from a lack of [[Air|air]] and begin reducing their [[Breath Bar|breath bar]]. | |||
