How to build a water transport
Here we will build a water transport in Java edition 1.21.5.
Water is plentiful in Minecraft making this a fantastic easy early build for transporting items. It works by making a trench with running water to transport items. It uses a pressure plate to separate the water enabling it to only flow one way.
In this section we will discuss the materials and the ingredients that we need to make this build. This will give a concise list of the items and the recipe's to make them.
Chest
Hopper
Pressure plate
Hopper - you will also need a chest to make a hopper.
Here we will explain in detail how to build a water transport in Minecraft. Please follow the instructions carefully.
Lets first dig an 8 block trench.
Next step we need to fill the trench with water.
Ensure you place the water at one end of the trench so that it flows towards the other end.
When making a longer water channel we need to use a pressure plate to separate the water.
When doing it this way ensure that when the water flows down only seven blocks are left.
This is a simple collection system that can be placed at the end of the water.
The items will pass into the hopper and eventually into the chest.
What can go wrong - the items not reaching the chest.
When making a water transport that is longer than 1 water bucket, you need cut the water with a pressure plate on the the 7th block. This will mean that the items sent down will continue on their way.
Other suggestions for the build
For this build you can place a minecart loader underneath the chest and have the items transported off. These could go to a sorter and on to additional storage.
