A '''water lake''' was a small body of [[Minecraft:water]] source blocks in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]]. It could generate both on the surface and underground, in the latter case an air pocket would generate above it.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Water lakes, which were bodies of water source blocks, could generate at any [[Minecraft:altitude]]. They could generate underground connected to [[Minecraft:cave]]s, or isolated, connected to no other structures whatsoever. When in a snowy biome, these small lakes were never initially frozen but turned to ice if exposed to the sky.<br />
<br />
If a water lake generates with a small air pocket above it, there may be floating sand, floating snow cover, or even floating trees above the lake.<br />
<br />
== Generation ==<br />
Water lakes were common, generating in almost all Overworld biomes excluding the [[Minecraft:desert]] and [[Minecraft:Desert Hills|desert hills]] biomes. If they selected an altitude above the surface to generate, they would generate on the surface instead, leading to more water lakes present on the surface in biomes with lower altitude. <br />
<br />
{{IN|java}}, the air pockets above water lakes were generated with [[Minecraft:Air|cave air]] instead of normal air. This was true even for lakes that were exposed to the open sky.<br />
<br />
[[Minecraft:Monster room]]s were able to generate attached to water lakes.<br />
