Professor Todd is top tier. Thanks always for your clear explanations, examples, and demonstrations.
What I do to quickly create long bubble colums would also work to just to make tall stacks of water-source blocks. Start by ensuring the bottom, or floor, is dirt or sand, then place water source blocks at the top level as the surface of the water. Now plant kelp at the bottom and continue them all the way up. Once every block of the space is filled with kelp, simply break the bottom level of kelp and the rest of the kelp will follow suit leaving behind all water source blocks from bottom to top. This seems like it'd take a long time in theory as you need to touch every block of area rather than strategically skip a few blocks in order to exploit the cascaading source block generation mechanic but, in practice, stacking kelp into tall vines can be done very quickly; more quickly than setting up cascades, in fact. Good luck out there!

I use placed scaffolding under water to check if a block is a source block or not. Depending on your shader pack, fences might be more viable, but they have the disadvantage of blocking your way.

Thank you so much for explaining water mechanics in an accessible way, both in this video and your previous one. I’m new to Minecraft, and I’ve had the hardest time finding videos that simply break down the basic physics of the game. I appreciate you taking the time to explain thoroughly and provide demonstrations. I agree with the other commenter, YouTube really needs more educational/tutorial Minecraft content like this. Take my like and subscribe!

12:12 An alternate way to force water source blocks is by using kelp. Put dirt at the bottom of the area you are trying to fill, place source blocks at the highest layer you want to reach. Keep stacking kelp starting from the dirt and the kelp will convert the flowing water into source blocks. (This works in java for sure, idk about bedrock)

Useful tips! I've always struggled with containing water with signs and fences.

I wanted a list of all the different blocks that could stop flowing water while letting entities through since I make a lot of different designs for water elevators. Having a large list of options for blocks is useful to me so I can pick and choose which types would be beneficial in certain situations.

I had to stop by and tell you that i have been looking for a video to teach me and after maybe 10 videos and hours wasted i got to this video and let me tell you, you do explain this quite well. good job!

I play in bedrock and when I try water logging a trap door the water leaks out but I can block the trap doors or else the red stone won’t work (this is for a mob farm) wdid

[tyrustyme]

With that last one I think out of the 2 blocks of water I think the top block is a source block and the bottom water is the flow I think maybe that could help you more?

I don't know if your into water mechanics or If you'r two videos on it where solely for your audience. If you are into it, consider checking out the water splitting mechanic i discovered and the multi farm transport it makes possible without the need to filter down stream. Playing with it i found you can have for farms use a single wide water track and split them without filters or speeding the items down. I found it some time ago, but is bet it still works. Video on the splitter the mechanics needed to compact the setup or with just placing the blocks manually in a specific configuration you can get the same results on a larger scale.

Gracias por haber hecho este video, realmente me sirvió muchísimo, siento que casi nadie hablaba de esto y en mi idioma que es el español es imposible encontrar un video que hable tan a profundidad sobre este tema del agua, he querido hacer un pozo de algas para hacer combustible y comida al mismo tiempo.
¡Muchas gracias por responder los comentarios!

What's funny is I am trying to find the opposite of this. I am trying to make a sinkhole and the water keeps coming back and I don't want it to. But the only way is to get two source blocks away from each other and its impossible when you are in the middle of a lake. :/

Hi Todd, i have stumbled over your video try to find help with an issue on bedrock, i am making a farm using water as the mode to transport the crops in to a chest at the end and using a dispensor and a button to harvest the crops. my issue is the water coming out of the dispensor isn't trying to cover all the hoe'd land its only going 3 wide in 4 directions not passing in others... it appeared to be a blobk issue at first so i dug them up replanted so water flowing all directions, i hoe it all go back to try again and back to normal, any advice for me? The farm is 7 x 7 and the dispenser is 1 block above the dirt. Many Thanks

I have a question in my bedrock server I’m trying to make a string duper but water loging isn’t working what do I do

any where in this video listed how to make source block? no timestamps and dont wanna have to watch 24 mins if no info on how to make one
