I'm having a bit of an issue, and it's been happening over the course of three days, (ever since I moved from smp7). It's not a huge huge deal, but it is starting to bother me. My residence is on Smp3, address 7274. Wherever I place water, it freezes over and forms ice, which I either must destroy so that I can have water there instead, or I just leave it. I don't want ice on my res, I would like water for growing crops or for decorative/landscaping purposes. My question is, is this a bug? A glitch? Do I have to move addresses to a different lot in where the water won't freeze over, or can I change my game's settings so that it doesn't do this? Thanks for hearing me out, Butrfngrsrgd.
Your new res is in a snow biome, which causes water to turn into ice. To prevent this, place a torch near the water source or place a block above the water source.
Something I use (in addition to whats above) is putting glowstone under the water. It stops the problem of having torches everywhere.
consider maybe making a glass sheet above your res. that should stop all ice from forming, but im not sure if glass works for that. i would test that with a 1 glass block over some ice at ground level.
Has it been suggested to Aikar/Justin that this could be disabled with a flag in the "Residence Update"? (which is one of the planned updates, I think?)
That should work. I was playing with making an automatic ice machine in single player, and covered the source water I didn't want freezing, with nothing more than a block of glass.
Be able you have a Taiga Biome res, you can make an ice machine to farm with silk touch! Free Ice to sell!
In auctions, only mods can edit the posts. In a normal thread, it is not recent (say 4 months I have been here)
#RichPeople It's been suggested before (a LONG time ago). I think Justin was working on it, but I don't know if there are any plans for fixes still in the works.
Well, I don't want to put in the time or effort to learn/acquire the enchantment to get silk touch. I just want water, and all of these solutions are very helpful, but I think I'm just going to move to another res and hope I don't have the same problem (Yes, for me it is a problem..). Thank you for responding.
