How to obtain

Use an empty bucket on a water source block. Two sources placed with a gap can create a renewable infinite water source for a base.

Primary use

Water extinguishes entities and blocks, moves items, converts lava, and cushions falls. It is also essential for farms, elevators, and aquatic transport.

Important mechanics

Placed water evaporates in the Nether outside special cauldron mechanics. Flowing water pushes entities, and a source block can be collected again.

Practical tips

Carry water in the Overworld and a separate fire-safety option in the Nether. Practice water clutches at safe heights before relying on one near the void.
