Test how water flows, then build a boat ride river with a waterfall.
Every great city needs a thrill ride. Yours: a wild river that sweeps a boat round bends and over the falls.
- New skill Shaping water with slopes and sources
- Level 3 · Dream City
- Difficulty Beginner
- Mode Creative
- Time 35–45 min
- Ages 13+
What you’ll build
Run splash tests to see how far water flows and what changes when you add a drop, a bend or a second source. Use what you learn to dig a winding river with a waterfall, then hop in a boat, ride the rapids and theme it with a splash pool and a queue line.
Finish line: Your boat ride sweeps round bends and over a waterfall, backed by your own water-flow test.
Bonus challenge: Build a still splash pool at the bottom from source blocks only. Then ride from top to bottom 3 times and find your record.
You’ll need
- Water buckets
- A boat
- Rocks and plants
- A sign
You choose
- Ride name
- Waterfall height (m)
- Test I'll run (a drop, a bend or 2 sources)
Stuck?
- Water stops short? Flowing water only spreads about 7 blocks on flat ground, so add a source or a 1-block drop.
- Boat stalling? Still water doesn't push boats, so keep the water moving along every stretch.
- Water leaking out? Seal the banks with solid blocks so the riverbed holds it.
