Minecraft is a game about building, crafting and surviving in a randomly generated world. Sometimes, you can build a house or base that doesn't have a water supply. Luckily, you can build a bucket to produce your own water supply. This wikiHow teaches you how to create an unlimited water supply in Minecraft.
Step
Step 1. Dig a hole for water supply
Click or use the left trigger button to dig the dirt/grass blocks below and make a hole. You don't need a tool to dig the soil/grass, but it will be faster if you use a shovel. This hole should be a 2x2 cube with a depth of 1 cube. You can make it bigger if you want, but large holes will require more water to fill. Once the hole is filled with water, the water drawn from it will always be refilled.
Step 2. Make an iron bar
Iron bars are needed to make craft buckets. To get iron, you first need to mine iron ore from the cave. Then, you need to find or assemble a furnace (''furnace'') and use it to turn iron ore into iron bars.
Step 3. Assemble the bucket
Make an iron bucket of at least three iron bars from your inventory. Open the raft table by right-clicking or pressing the left trigger button. Choose a bucket from the label with the bucket and apple icon (Java edition), or the bucket and bed icon label (Bedrock edition), or the Weapons and Tools label aka weapons and equipment (Playstation edition). After that, slide the bucket into inventory.
If you have enough iron bars, you can assemble several buckets so you don't have to go back and forth to fetch water
Step 4. Find the waters
These waters can be rivers, lakes, or seas. Minecraft worlds are randomly generated. You need to explore to find the source of the water. Luckily, there's enough water in Minecraft that you shouldn't have to venture far.
We recommend that you consider making a map before you go exploring. Unfortunately, the map is not available early in the game
Step 5. Fill the bucket with water
Once you find the water source, put the bucket in the toolbar and select it. Then, stand next to the water source and right click or press the left trigger on the water block. The image of the bucket in the inventory will be filled with water.
Step 6. Repeat for additional space
Return to the water source and fill the bucket as needed. Then, return to the hole and fill in any additional spaces. Then, when the water seems calm with no flow in any direction, your unlimited water source is ready.
Step 7. Repeat for all additional spaces in the hole
You may need to return to the water source and refill the bucket several times. Use the bucket to fill any additional space in the dug hole. Look for blocks where the water isn't still or seems to be flowing in a certain direction. Fill this space with water. Then, when finished, the water should be level with no flow. When the hole is completely filled, you can draw water here at any time using a bucket. The water will be full again after you take water from this source.
