As one of Minecraft’s most enduring survival map types, Skyblock has no shortage of new players giving it a shot to see how long they can survive the tricky circumstances that begin immediately upon entering the world.
Much like in standard Minecraft gameplay, water is a significantly important resource for several reasons. Whether it’s creating cobblestone and obsidian, flowing through the automatic mob and crop farms, or just providing a nice fishing spot, water is needed abundantly and often.
This is especially true in Skyblock, where players aren’t immediately given access to much water and must use what they have sparingly. Fortunately, an old-school trick in Minecraft can turn the tide for Skyblock players.
Creating an infinite water source in Minecraft Skyblock
There is also one additional method of collecting water that takes significantly more effort but may be preferred for some players. By placing an empty cauldron under the open sky unobstructed by any blocks, the cauldron will slowly collect water whenever it rains. Once the cauldron is full, players can draw water from it with a bucket.
Using the cauldron and filling two buckets can also allow players to create an infinite water source, though this takes significantly more time and resources than shattering an ice block.
