Liquids are special dynamic blocks in Minetest.

Liquid forms

Liquids usually come in two forms: In source form and in flowing form.

Liquid source

Liquid sources have the shape of a cube. A liquid source will generate flowing liquids around it from time to time. Liquid sources are usually subject to gravity.

Flowing liquid

Flowing liquids take a “sloped” form and never the shape of a cube. Flowing liquids spread around the map until they drain. Flowing liquids are subject to gravity.

Liquid properties

All liquids share the following properties:

  • All properties of blocks
  • Viscosity: How fast players can move through it and how fast new flowing liquids are generated, move and fall
  • Flowing range: How many flowing liquids are created at maximum per liquid source, it determines how far the liquid will “spread”. This is a number ranging from 0 to 8. If 0, no flowing liquids are generated at all. Usually, liquids have a flowing range of 8
  • Renewability: Renewable liquids have the property that new sources can be created when two or more sources are next to each other.
  • Drowning damage: If set, it will a) reduce your breath (“bubbles”) while you are inside and b) will cause damage to you every 2 seconds if you ran out of breath while inside
