FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi,

I'm trying to build some undersea premises. I went to the ocean and build something from the floor of the ocean to the sea level. My problem is that the inside of the building is still filled by water.

I've checked that there is no holes in the wall or bottom, it's just that the water that was already inside stayed inside.

Is there a way to remove the water from inside ?
Do you know if there is a mod like a kind of sink block, that I could place at the floor and that will make water touching it disappear ?

Fill the whole interior of your house with blocks, then remove them.

some use sand or earth, as these are easy to remove. Sand is easy to use from above as it "falls". My favourite is papyrus though as you can walk through it and breath in it. Of course in singleplayer you can also search for mods that may do it in other ways such as using WorldEditor or other tools.

Use one of the sponge mods, as they need fewer blocks of sponge per unit of water to be removed. Worldedit is of course the fastest way, but that would be cheating. :-)

Thanks !

by searching the forum, I've found that the mod Technic (https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2538) contains a sponge mod. I'll try this at home tonight and report if it worked !

many ways to remove water with
liquid_finite=1

There also was a water cleanup node or somthing...
Maybe use the search function if you can't find it.

This is a link to the sponge mod:

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4642

Post 7 of that link/topic has some other 'sponge' links (watergone-mod)

That was my first though too!
