water removal

[ch98]

Do you have any good idea how to remove water from very large area without world-edit? filling the space and digging it will take forever in this 50 x 50 x 20 space.

You could edit the default mod to make water diggable. Are you on singleplayer or a server?

This old Sponge thread my be of interest as it contains some links related to the problem.

You could use sand, but that would only be slightly more efficient than non-falling blocks.

My solution : https://github.com/Ombridride/minetest- ... ods/sponge

This sponge mod created by Darvedevil, grant you the way to erase water source (a 3x3 area for the moment, but you can tweak this value)

This is part of my subgame Minetestforfun_game and of course it's activated in my server if you want to try it :)

l made a node to remove every water node touching each other without recursion, so without stack overflow.
