Video Tutorial: Pumps (v1.15)

1st Official Post

    There is the better way to pump water.
    Make infinity water pool, place pump directly above the water, connect cable and this working without miner and pumping water continuously.


    like this:

    so pumps work without miners?
    YAY!!!
    I'm going to make an automatic power system with a geothermal generator and a pump in the nether!!!
    or do geothermal generators destory the cell?

    Yes they destroy the cell, and remember that lava doesn't work like water does, in terms of 'Infinite Source"


    I'd personally like to see pumps work like the BC pump, where it goes in and sucks up all the water/oil/lava on the surface, and then moves down 1 level and sucks up all that stuff, etc etc.


    That, or a BC way to get the lava from pipes/storage into a bucket/cell.

    We should definitely be allowed to get infinite water. Other than that, yes I agree it should stop when it hits water/lava/whatever liquid if it has a Pump attached.


    Really though, it seems like it would just plain work better if the Pump was a standalone unit.
