Minecraft:Spring

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

Types of springs

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 sides of Minecraft:stone 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.

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.

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.
