Gather the materials you will need. You'll need a bucket of lava, two buckets of water, and 41 non-flammable blocks such as stone or dirt. You can reuse one bucket for the lava and water.
- Stone and stone bricks are good to use. You could use cobblestone, however, it may be a little confusing to tell where you have to mine because the generated cobblestone will blend in.

3

Make an L shape on the ground by placing 3 blocks horizontally and 3 blocks vertically.

Mirror the L shape on the other side.

5

Add a second layer of blocks on top of the L shapes but do not place a block in the center.

6

Place 4 blocks opposite one of the L shapes to create a wall.

Just make sure you straighten the water by adding more blocks or digging a hole.
