The water spawner, also referred to as an "infinite water source" by Notch,[1] was a block that would repeatedly create water on each of its four orthogonal sides.

Generated loot

[edit | edit source]

Water spawners could be found in starting house chests in stacks of 99 in Indev 0.31 20100124-2310, and stacks of 100 in Indev 0.31 20100128-2200. Prior to this, they were added to the player's inventory by default in a stack of 5.

Usage

[edit | edit source]
๐Ÿ‘ Image
As water spawners are full solid cubes, placed gears render on their sides.

The water spawner has many visual and functional differences from normal water:

  • It is a full, solid cube block with full block collision.
  • It is completely opaque.
  • All sides use the same still water texture.

Creating liquids

[edit | edit source]

Immediately after placement, the water spawner creates source blocks of water on each of its four orthogonal sides. If these created sources are removed, they get regenerated after enough time.

Sponges

[edit | edit source]

Water spawners are deleted by sponges.

History

[edit | edit source]
Java Edition Classic
May 18, 2009Notch states that a water spawner would probably be silly.
Java Edition Indev
0.3120100114๐Ÿ‘ Image
Added water spawners.
The block is referred to as an "item spawner block".[2]
The blocks were added to allow for players to create lakes on floating maps.
20100124-2310Water spawners can now be found in starting house chests in a stack of 99.
20100128-2200Water spawners can now be found in starting house chests in a stack of 100.
20100129-1447Water spawners can no longer be found in starting house chests.
20100131-2156Water spawners now periodically generate water around themselves even if said water was previously removed.
20100201-2227Water spawners are now deleted by sponges.
Java Edition Infdev
20100624The water spawner has been removed. As the ID is now empty, it now crashes the game with a NullPointerException if a chunk containing said block is loaded or an inventory containing one opened.
20100625-1917๐Ÿ‘ Image
The numeric ID that water spawners used is now used by the monster spawner, and as such all existing water spawners seamlessly convert into monster spawners instead of causing the game to crash.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

"Water Spawner" is a removed block and as such issues relating to it cannot be fixed.
