Template:Infobox structure A spring is a Minecraft:feature consisting of a single block of Minecraft:liquid that flows out into spaces level with or lower than the source.

Types of springs

From a practical standpoint, there are three main categories of fluid springs:

Normal springs

A water spring as viewed from inside a cave.

Normal springs can generate as either Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava in the walls of underground surfaces. These are commonly encountered on the sides of cliffs, as well as inside Minecraft:caves. Lava springs are a common source of forest fires. Additionally, water springs can only generate below Y=192.

Ceiling springs

Nether ceiling spring.

Ceiling springs are exclusive to Minecraft:the Nether, and only generate with lava. They generate on ceilings, and the lava flows directly downwards from them.

Hidden springs

Hidden lava springs are plentiful at all depths in the Nether.

In the Nether, lava springs can generate without any exposed faces buried in terrain, potentially becoming hazardous when blocks around them are mined.

Template:Nbt
- Template:Nbt The fluid to use.
  - Template:Nbt inherit/block state
- Template:Nbt (optional, defaults to 4) The required number of blocks adjacent to the spring that belong to Template:Nbt. Block above is not counted.
- Template:Nbt (optional, defaults to 1) The required number of air blocks adjacent to the spring. Block above is not counted.
- Template:Nbt (optional, defaults to true) Whether the spring feature requires a block in Template:Nbt below it.
- Template:Nbt Template:Nbt Can be a block ID or a block tag, or a list of block IDs.

Feature is hardcoded to check if the block above it belongs to Template:Nbt and does not place if the block is not there.

-Unlike other types of springs, these are hidden from generation, requiring all adjacent blocks to be solid. Currently, these only generate with lava in the Nether. They are particularly dangerous since they can be exposed at any depth in any biome while mining.
