The game world of Minecraft strives for realness, and many objects in it are similar to those that meet in normal life. And some of the substances which are often coming most across there can call water. It is provided, as well as in extra computer reality, in the form of reservoirs of different value - and is very often used by players.
The importance of water in Minecraft
Water serves in many moments of a game to gamers as the assistant. With its help they suit different traps, without serious consequences go down from the big height (when necessary to make), quickly clean big spaces from different materials: mushrooms, vegetation, torches, wheat, snow, etc. However, and some constructions from a redstone and rails she at the same time too is capable to sweep away.
Water serves as means for creation of a cobble-stone and obsidian in connection with a lava. By the way, players when they need to cross lava lakes quite often use the last circumstance. They place water near a lava - and that is transformed to obsidian. And it is possible to cross it without serious consequences now, and at the same time for a krafting and different constructions to catch a valuable resource.
In addition, and as protection against monsters quite often water is used too. Many gamers know: if to pour out it aside with which hostile moba come nearer it will turn out to escape from them. Zombies are not able to swim against its current, and spiders are not able to jump out of it.
Easy ways remove water
However not always water happens for the good. Often it becomes an obstacle in implementation by the player of grandiose plans for an occasion of building of any section. Gamers quite often face, apparently, difficult to achieve task - to remove somewhere huge volumes of this liquid. Buckets to take out it and it is possible to carry to other place, of course, - but it will occupy time lot, and concerning the sea or the ocean will not work in general.
However, there are several methods how to get rid of it, and many of them are rather simple. One of these ways is useful if on that resource where the gamer plays, WorldEdit plug-in is installed. It allocates any player with the whole arsenal of commands by means of which it is possible to subject to serious changes surrounding space.
For example, if there is a wish to adjust the level of nearby reservoirs, will be to enter on the special console / fixwater enough. When there is desire to get rid absolutely of liquid - to a uniform drop - on a certain section, once command/drain uses and through a space to specify specific range of this order. By the way, at the same time the player will get rid also of a lava in the same territory.
However if to potter with installation of plug-ins the reluctance, it is worth using a bit different method of disposal of large volumes of water. It is necessary to fence this place with walls from blocks that all liquid remained surrounded with them, and then to gradually substitute it with sand or other similar material. When all water to a drop leaves, above-mentioned blocks can just be destroyed.
Some get rid of not really large reservoirs, filling in them with a lava. As a result instead of them the mass of blocks of a cobble-stone or obsidian (depending on that, fiery volcanic flows will interact with water how exactly) turns out.
Sponge for removal of water
In newer versions of Minecraft there was also other way to get rid of water masses - their absorption by means of a sponge. That as a practice shows, is capable to incorporate to fifty cubes of liquid. Then it becomes wet and becomes not functional, but it is possible to correct business, having dried up it in the furnace by means of coal.
So valuable block was got only in the creative mode of a game until recently or was distributed on different resources administrators. They played sponges in different competitions or sold in shops. Gamers went for a set of tricks if only to catch such suction piece of water as its validity period is unlimited. It is possible to lose it only, having lost in pvp or having dropped in a lava.
However, now the sponge appeared already and in the survival mode. Now it is possible to get it and directly in a gameplay. In a wet view it is sometimes generated in underwater fortresses and also drops out after murder of ancient guards - the hostile mob similar to fish living there. These beings having a health stock in forty hearts are added to the version of Minecraft 1.8. It is very difficult to kill them also because they send on the player fatigue for five minutes. However and the award for success - a sponge - is rather valuable.
