"Realistic water" *Falls on tiny bit of water without breaking legs*

For those of you who are wondering, skip said "Water" 82 times

This water physics honestly feels a lot like how water works in Terraria

imagine walking through a minecraft village with it raining, puddles could be forming and make it more realistic

fills a bucket up with water from the ocean, game instantly crashes

I really wouldn't want this in vanilla since the amount of Redstone and stuff like waterslides would be ruined.

For this to work in Minecraft, the game would literally need to bump up its world generation realism to ludicrous levels. Every bit of every map would need to incorporate water cycle. This means groundwater, clouds, rain, streams, springs, etc… oh good lord how would we do that??

I think one interesting thing to build with this is pumps and pipes. You can definitely make waterfalls, you just need to recycle the water at the bottom pretty aggressively.

Now we just need to make Minecraft water in Terraria.

So so for there to actually be waterfalls in Minecraft, there would have to be a water cycle. Water would have to evaporate, be carried into clouds, rain, them gather off the sides of complex mountain systems and find it's path back to the ocean. That would actually be kind of epic.

if it was realistic wouldn't the water disappear into water and grass because water displaces into soil?

Seeing that puddle of water run across a mountain once it was poured on the ground. Ah yes, realistic water physics.

Now I'm happy that water is unrealistic

They should make rain fill up river,ocean,pools and ponds so if there's a hole they won't be completely dried up because of a a hole

you know, the finite water and lack of waterfalls could be remedied with a new water block source. Water usually comes out of rocks and soil IRL, so I could see that being implemented for "realistic purposes"

Isn't it weird that developers try to make games realistic but the reason we play games is to escape reality

For those people who knew the OG game "The Blockheads", it observes water physics like this. I agree that it's quite annoying especially at the oceans, but there is a duplication method in that game. I really missed that game so much...

Here's a map idea, an escape map where you have to get out of some sort of tunnel or cave while water slowly rises. Puzzles and other obstacles could be added as well.

I feel like if you were to hold a water bottle and move too fast or get hit, a small splash of water should come out

What would happen if you make a hollow J-shaped structure and fill that with water from the highest point?

I was so relieved to find out this isn't going into vanilla.

anything realistic would ruin minecraft

Does air simply disappear? If not, than it might be possible to create an airlock to re-enable water elevators.

Realistic water is quite cool but will mess up and maybe ruin many redstone contraptions.

The lag would be unbelievable!

It seems like several of the problems with realistic water, in terms of gameplay, could be solved by including a different kind of water source or mystical item from which water can flow endlessly. This could be implemented in-game by having them randomly generate in the waterfalls we normally see around our worlds, as well as having a structure where several can be found. My idea would be a life-themed temple with these endless waterfalls built into the architecture as well as other plant themed designs.

This seems more like terraria water rather then realistic water

Can you make a waterfall by making a river from edge of ocean to a huge drop?

7:27 perfect design for a mini volcano if replaced by lava

I think it'd be cool to have two separate waters (a realistic and a classic, for example) to incorporate into your builds. Like sometimes you might want an infinite water source for like a fountain sans redstone, sometimes you want realistic puddles, idk.

Wow he managed to talk about it for 9 minutes. 👏👏 I was expecting it to be 3 minute max.

Number 24. computer would crash the moment your 2 render distance reaches the ocean

Sounds like pain but to be honest Minecraft always has been but we all still love it and it’s still definitely the best game

Okay, but if with that realistic water, you would also have realistic rivers? That appear in one place and go all the way to the ocean? That would make waterfalls pretty possible

I guess some other aspects of IRL water would need to be added, such as underground water table, and rainfall topping up surface bodies of water.

with finite water, you could even make some simple water pump designs that works like a human heart. just make a small tunnel with 3 sticky pistons that each push a block inside to close the path. the ones at each end can act as gates, and the one in the middle as a pump. so you can activate the piston at the input side to close the gate and deactivate the one at the output to open that one, then activate the middle piston to push water out (at the output since the input side is blocked by the piston), and now swtich the side pistons, output closed and input open, and deactivate the middle piston to pull water inside (from the input, because it's the only opening at that moment), now start again from the start using a simple redstone clock, and boom you got a water pump that works like one of your heart ventricles.

Skip: "be careful not to dig down from a river to a cave" Me who knows that all too well from playing Terraria: 👁👄👁

Sounds fun. But there'd have to be a water cycle system with rain refilling rivers and melting snow to provide water for waterfalls.

I once played with a friend on realistic water and bigger boats and the funniest thing was when were sailing the oceans and suddenly a cave would render underwater creating a drain we would have to avoid, and these werent exacly easy to notice in time

7:22 i think that i can create a fountain thing with this!

imagine having to actually use pistons to pump water up just to get a decent water stream

5:15 or you could make the generator correctly and put a hole in the floor a block past the source to stop the water from flowing into the lava

8:37 uh ok

For water to be more realistic, imagine if water could evaporate over time

So does that mean if you destroyed the lowest level of bedrock (using a glitch) you could theoretically drain the oceans?

Okay but an airlock system for the water elevator that drains the water, moves it beneath the chamber, and uses pistons to push the water back into the chamber would be very cool

I just found your channel and I love it so much. I'm new to Minecraft and being able to learn about all of this stuff is so much easier thanks to your zero-bullshit, high-energy style.

1:17 is nobody going to talk about the bucket losing durability

dude seriously watching oceans being drained is the most satisfying thing i've ever seen in my entire life

1:43 rare footage of my dad

Now they just need to implement a water cycle with evaporation and rain, to make rivers work

“Water is a finite resource” Cauldron:” am I a joke to you?”

2:26 A random command block in the background

Terraria : "Get a load of this guy"

Should have evaporation, so the sun could fix some mistakes.

A fix for waterfalls could be a unique sand block to act as a natural spring, creating a slow but steady source block for a water stream, then another sand block that does the opposite by tsking water away There could be some kinks to work out as i can see that creating some odd situations

Making water a finite resource in the highest difficulty survival would actually be awesome

3:13 Waifu simulator? 🤨

If they added pumps along with this, then it would be actually pretty fun. Cuz as is it's just Terraria water without pumps, which sounds like a nightmare. But water wheels with pumps in Minecraft would be dope

Ya....All mincraft bucket drop people would go mad crazy I MEAN CRAZY!!!

1:07 "Water isn't infinite anymore" I guess i can't make the joke about the teacher saying nothing is infinite me anymore waaaahhhh

"You'd see with Minecraft's new physics" You made it sound like that's 1.20 feature. Don't scare people like that

For the cobblestone generator, you could have a dispencer pick up the water and transport the waterbucket to another dispencer that can dispence it and then loop

Hi skip! Please keep making vids

1:23 Dripstone: Am I a joke to you?

this is really cool and i would love to play around with it but i perfer water the way it is

It would be really cool if there was a new liquid that behaved this way, maybe found in specific biomes.

7:48 Replacing the buttom 2 rows and all exits exept the one at the top with a 2x3 pool should make this work.

Water wouldn’t be a finite resource, actually; Wandering Traders occasionally sell buckets with fish in them, so you’d still be able to get more!

how many times can "what if minecraft had realistic water?" be made? I swear I've seen like dozens of these.

With the pistons displacing water, with enough effort you could build a really cool water pump that pushes the water to the top of some sort of system that could be interesting

if the feature was tweaked to be a little more consistent/predictable with movement, and some sort of easily usable pump block was made, I could see this new water being equal in usage to the current mechanics

3:52 bruh.

Terraria water.

This would be great if it also generated 'source' blocks in certain situations that behave a certain way. This way you can still get waterfalls and lavafalls, still have mob farms, move items, semi auto farms, etc.

You could just drain an entire ocean just the Straight down until you hit a cave and all the water off until he gave

You can probably still make a cobble gen, just gotta tweak the design

Hey skip have you done a short on the crafting uses of me? (Im gold) I promise im not useless 😢

Do air pockets work? I can't really explain what they are, but you can do an experiment by submerging an upside down glass in a bowl with water. The glass won't fill up, because of the air being trapped inside. It could be usefull for the underground mining and exploring.

Imagine a mix of both! So waterfalls and infinite water sources are possible and so oceans stay consistent, but making the requirement for it to be infinite bigger like having a big steam or lake or inner basin at the top of the waterfalls~ I feel like there’s a lot that could be done with the realistic water bucket mechanically

1:36 what is that shape 💀

Terraria players: I don't have such weaknesses

To be honest if alternatives were added I wouldn't mind. We could have fans to move objects and mobs, we already have cauldrons, but we could also have nets that collect vapor and work regardless of whether it is raining or not. We could have diving suits or at least a snorkel (oh my gosh why isn't this a thing yet? update aquatic should have had it) for breathing underwater and while I don't have an idea to solve every problem it would still be very immersive.

I think a simple fix here would be a separate “water” block and a “water source” block. Put the sources at the top of the occurring waterfalls, etc. and perhaps there may need to be an aspect of evaporation as well, so if water sat stagnant for long enough, some of it would evaporate, perhaps more or less so depending on what biome you were in (desert vs swamp, for example)

this would actually be really cool as a feature that could be toggled per world

2:12 why are the hoppers golden

I think the perfect way to fix the "ocean water drain" problem is making pure water being realistic, but ocean water (salt water) being as the all live water, or at least filling the underneat caves with salty water to avoid that kind of situations.

SKIP IS BACK!!! ❤❤❤❤

Terraria be like:

my goal is to drain the ocean now

Instead of the water destroying the pressure plates, shouldn't the water just flow over them?

Imagine seeing a lake at the bottom of the ravine, jumping down, and then suddenly losing 10 hearts and being unable to swim because you happened to bellyflop

Now it's Terraria 3D💀

Damn... I'll miss the old water, if the new water physics gets added

You can make mob grinder but you need pump system since Redstone is still free power so you get dispenser on top an dbotton and transport with droppers or dispensers water bucket up the thing and infinite loo of flowing water down the mob grinder

even though it would probably be hard to code; water should also be sinking into permeable ground like dirt, gravel, and sand over time. much like how tilled dirt gets darker due to exposure to a water source in farming, permeable blocks should be darker to indicate groundwater seepage into those blocks. eventually, they stop when they hit impermeable surfaces and blocks such as rocks, clay, etc. but it would be cool seeing aquifers due to realistic water and pipelines created to siphon that water out

2:34 No just no

Finally he is back with more lessons than we can learn in entire month in School!

I wish you could dye water. Just put a bucket of water with any coloured dye in a crafting table.

I actually wouldn't mind realistic water like this. Would be perfect if they added items for infinitely creating/removing water. "Magic Sponge" to endlessly remove any water that touches it, and "Magic Coral" to endlessly dump out water as long as there are air spaces beside and below it.
