Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Conduits placed in the Nether should allow the placement of water in the surrounding area

Conduits are expensive, non-renewable, and their use is largely overshadowed by renewable items (i.e. potions and enchantments) which confer the same effects. For this reason, they aren’t very practical as an endgame item. However, giving conduits the unique ability of allowing water placement in the nether would change this entirely. Builds, mob farms, redstone mechanisms, interdiminsional infrastructure, etc. have been forever limited by the inability to place water in the nether. Unfarmable, conduits would offer a lore-friendly, balanced, and practical solution to this problem. It is the perfect endgame item to advance the opportunities available to dedicated players, while also encouraging otherwise farm-based players to explore, in search of buried treasure. It would also fit nicely with the Nether update.

    That is a very interesting idea as I have been wanting a block or item that allows water placement, what would the radius be. Like 3 source blocks in a 9 by 9 area?

    That is a very cool mechanic. It would be nice of water couldn't flow out of conduit radius. =)

    Heck yeah, dude. A clever way to implement the ability to place water in the Nether, and just a clever idea overall.

    Very nice suggestion. It would reward Nether-based builders greatly.

    I was about to make another post entailing the exact same thing. I love the idea of being able to conquer the nether through terraforming. This truly makes base building possible in the nether.
