Minecraft:Spring

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.
