I've been trying various things in local server mode before transporting them to a player server. This time ... fountains.

Same fountain in Sandstone and Stone textures (0.3.1)

Same fountains at night. The only change is I added spot lights (torches) under the water.

Post your pictures of using water in your creations.

Looks great. I love it. Could you also post a quick tutorial on how-to? Thanks for posting.

Not that hard. Just build four 1 by X towers (X = height you want) on a 3x3 grid.

X0X
0G0
X0X

X=Material you want to use
0=Nothing
G = Glass

Once you get the height you want, put the glass 1 block below the top in the middle of it all. Then use a bucket of water and put the water on top of the glass. Then put torches on the sides of the glass.

You can fence it off how ever you like.

I made tunnels under sand with water. And I have made numerous fountains. As well as a few cobble and obsidian generators. And as far as your challenges, GAME ON!

Come to my server. But it's 0.4. Maybe I'll post a link to my map. Eh?
