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.

Description

Water lakes, which were bodies of water source blocks, could generate at any Minecraft:altitude. They could generate underground connected to Minecraft:caves, 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.

If a water lake generated with a small air pocket above it, there may have been floating sand, floating snow cover, or even floating trees above the lake.

Generation

Water lakes were common, generating in almost all Overworld biomes excluding the Minecraft:desert and 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.

Template:IN, the air pockets above water lakes were generated with cave air instead of normal air. This was true even for lakes that were exposed to the open sky.

Minecraft:Monster rooms were able to generate attached to water lakes.
