Talk:Fluids
"If you edit either type of fluid block into your inventory, they will spread when placed, since placing a block causes updates." This doesn't seem to be true; I'm in Beta 1.6.6 and when I place the Still Water block type (9) it remains stationary until a nearby block is updated. Glory 10:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

I think that if you edit the moving one into your inventory it will spread, while the still one waits for a block update. Arilotter 12:25, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Can this be changed to liquids?
Water and lava are fluids and liquids. Air is also a fluid, but it is not a liquid. Can this article be changed to "Liquids"? Chris3145 03:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Question
What ever happened to being able to place source blocks on top of source blocks?
[edit] Creating lava source blocks
As of Beta 1.9 Pre-release 5, a lava block can be converted into a source block if the following conditions hold: it is bordered by 4 lava sources in a cross-like arrangement the 4 sources are on the same horizontal level as it there is a solid, opaque block underneath it
I tried this in 1.0, but, as far as I can tell, it didn't work in either X or + shape. I tried it with dirt underneath, then stone. The outer lava blocks flowed inward, implying that a source block had not been created. When I tried the same thing in multiplayer, I could not pick up the middle block of lava with a bucket.
Was this feature removed? If not, could someone please confirm or clarify this?

- The Lava page says this no longer happens in 1.0, so I'm assuming it was a short-lived bug/feature. -- Orthotope 08:05, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. Shame, though. I guess I'll install that infinite lava plugin.

[edit] Flowing lava staying forever
I think it should be mentioned somewhere here that lava sometimes stays forever even after the source has been removed. --79.181.172.164 16:59, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
