Q&A for How to Make a Pool in Minecraft

That is so that the water can be placed all around the pool. If your pool is one block deep, you can skip that step.

Slime blocks and upward pistons can be used to simulate the jumping action of a diving board.

You can scoop up water from a water source like an ocean. If you put down a 2x2 square of water you have an unlimited water source. So, to answer your question, no, water does not come through wool.

None. Lava and water are the only two blocks the pool can be filled with. There are no others.

Of course. You can make a simple garden around it or make an entire forest. It's up to you and your imagination.

For the foundation, I would recommend using dirt for a basic pool. Since dirt is all around in the Overworld, you can get great quantities with ease. If you are going for a cooler design, Quartz block is a bit hard to get but looks great. Marble and concrete could also look realistic.

It's the emerald block, but in this wikiHow, they used a different texture pack.

Yes, but it is complicated. You would have to make a stack of blocks, then build around the blocks. When you have made the pool, use those blocks as a way to get up to your pool, or remove the blocks and have it completely suspended in the air.

The same as creative! Just simply go to the nearest river or any body of water. If you have a bucket, just fill it up and you have water and then you place it!

Unfortunately, no. It does not, but if you want to keep creepers away, just build a fence around the pool and tie some cats around the fence. Then that should keep those creepers away!

Easy! Simply just make some houses and a few farms. Then spawn some villagers and BOOM! You have a village!

First, you need to make a simple vertical foundation. Then build down from the foundation all the way to the pool. After you've done that, fill the pool with water. i recommend that you build it like a half pipe.

Yes, you can eat raw beef as long as your hunger bar is not full. It will restore 1.5 hunger bars (drumsticks).

You could use concrete powder to build it, but if you are filling the pool with water then all concrete powder blocks touching water would automatically turn into concrete.

It only makes a fire area. Since you are in creative, it doesn't do any damage.

Yes, you can make it in other games but make sure you have what you want. Minecraft might give you full experience.

Yes and it's a very good idea! If you are in multiplayer, now others can't see!

You could place a sponge near your flooded water. You could find it in the inventory or in the sea monument.

You could add a fence or a cobblestone wall to block mobs entering your pool.

Make a hole underground that leads to a water/lava storage. Just make sure the storage is not made from wood, in case you have a lava pool.

You could use anything to make a pool. Pick any material you like.You could make a hidden storage room if you have some valuable stuff such as diamonds, emeralds, gold, or iron. You could put it behind the wall or underground.

Obviously, it would be a good idea to get out of the pool ASAP, as the drowned will quickly target you. If you’re feeling confident, you could try and fight it, though it may be hard to get close enough to land a hit. Always carry a sword with you in case of things like these.

You can try fence posts with a gate somewhere, and you could put torches on the posts too.
