Question

Can I make waterfalls in Minecraft?

Community Answer

Find a hill and dig out some at the top. Fill the hole with water (or lava if you like), and make sure it flows down the hill.

Question

Can I use bedrock to make a fountain?

Ray Gonsalves

Community Answer

You could, but if you're just using bedrock, it won't look as decorative. Try adding a stone slab combination with the bedrock.

Question

Is obsidian slab a good choice?

Community Answer

Yes, as it provides a nice contrast between the surrounding area, and the fountain. It would help to make the creation stand out from everything else.

Question

How can a red stone be used in a fountain to make a contraption?

Community Answer

A dispenser with observer blocks, and a lever somewhere at the end of the observer chain. In the dispenser would be water. This would create a fountain which you could turn on and off.

Question

Can I make a waterfall in a lake?

Community Answer

Yes, you'll need lots of dirt (300 units) and at least about 64 water buckets. It will take at least 2 hours to make (6 Minecraft days). You can speed things up in creative mode: it will take about 3 Minecraft days and 40 real-life minutes.

Question

Could you make the fountain as a secret entrance?

Community Answer

I don't think so, unless you have your entrance a few blocks away from the fountain itself.

Question

Where do I get the obsidian slab?

Community Answer

You could get a mod, but I don't advise that. There are also a few commands that you can type in, which can be found on YouTube. These commands will lower your obsidian block instead of cutting it in half.

Question

How long will it take for the dragon egg to hatch?

Community Answer

It doesn't hatch; it's practically a trophy. Just break the block under the block it's on and place a torch there. Then, break the block the egg is on; you can now pick up to dragon egg and place it anywhere you want.

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a stone slab, place 3 stones in the 3x3 crafting grid.

Can I make a milk fountain in Minecraft?

You cannot make a milk fountain in Minecraft, as you cannot place milk to where it will flow, unlike water or lava.

Can I combine a stone slab with ancient debris?

Xiao Po

You could, but the combination is quite a bit not good. Try using quartz, stone, or glowstone.

Question

What if the fountain is destroyed by a griefer?

Xiao Po

Community Answer

It'll not be as bad as you thought as the water prevents TNT to explode. The only damage is the decorations/railings of the fountain.
