There are many reasons why you might need an infinite water source in Minecraft. Maybe you just want the convenience of having water nearby if you’ve built a base far away from the water. Perhaps you’re in a Minecraft server with challenges such as Skyblock, and need to have additional water with limited space. Whatever your need for infinite water, we’ve got you covered, and even have a solution for infinite water using just one water block.
How to get infinite water
The first guaranteed way to get infinite water in Minecraft is to place two source blocks of water in a 2×2 grid at diagonal corners. This way, you only need four blocks total, as the other two diagonals will convert to source blocks. To add the water, simply craft two buckets and collect it from a nearby river, ocean, or lake.
The next, slightly more complicated way, but that only requires one source block, is to dig a T-shaped hole and put one block elevated higher than ground level at the top of the T, resulting in a cross shape. Then, add a water source to the side of the elevated block so that it flows down and fills the dug-out shape.
Then, use bonemeal on the T to create seagrass, and collect the water from the source. The water will remain in the dug out area. You can then dig a 2×2 grid and place the water in one corner, then harvest the water from the T-shape. Place that water diagonally opposite to the previous one, and you’ve got the same result using just one bucket of water.
