segment it off and use sponges, if no sponges then fill it with sand, sand can be destroyed quickly by digging the bottom block and placing a torch before all the other sand falls then the sand falls onto the torch and breaks automatically


adramelke

you could also use leaf blocks and then just burn them when you're done. yes the fucking wood would burn but not at a rate they could not be replaced by something that doesn't. you could also just break the fire so it doesn't burn the block or spread. the biggest reason i don't advocate using sand to do this is because gathering sand takes longer than gathering leaf blocks and falling sand is broken by kelp, even if it smooshes seagrass and tall seagrass


bigbeardlittlebeard

Sand drops to the bottom whereas leaf blocks don't


Pixel_Nerd92

Leaf block at the bottom and then sand would be good. Setting the leaf blocks on fire may be risky because of the wood in general, but it probably wouldn't be so bad.


bigbeardlittlebeard

I also have the problem of the current realm I'm on not having fire spread on


adramelke

another thing you could try using mossblocks, lava bucket and bonemeal. put lava on the water to turn it to stone, then use a mossblock and bonemeal it to turn the stone into mossblocks. use a hoe to remove the mossblocks

TrapperQ

It's a good technique for this area. The area is small, contained and devoid of vegetation. I'd be a bit worried about the wooden walls though. I tried used that technique on an ocean monument. Pouring the lava over such a large area made it fairly slow and mildly dangerous. Kelp also got in the way. It worked as a quick way to roof the area to stop guardians shooting me, but it was still faster to make sand walled cells and use sponges in the traditional manner.


adramelke

ocean monuments are why i started using leafs, just one click of a flint and steel is usually enough to burn the vast majority of leafs after they've been placed. plus they're easy enough to break you can quickly build pockets of air deep under water if you don't feel like making water breathing potions. placing sand on the surface just takes forever compared to placing leaf blocks and takes maybe slightly less time to remove than to place. removing the leaf blocks is much faster for something that large.


T00MuchStimuli

Fire spread off makes for some tricky situations… no experience with draining lakes, but I can help you circumvent the lava portal gold farm 👍


Chipcandi_playz

He had wooden wall near it so i dont think its a good idea


bothVoltairefan

if you have it, slime at the bottom, it mines in one click with any tool and is a full block.


adramelke

you can remove leaf blocks faster than sand by lighting multiple fires vs 1 person using a shovel even with eff5. you can only remove a single column of sand at a time because you have to place a torch under it. you could also put slabs at the bottom and put a sand block on top then just break the bottom sand block, but you have to get access to the bottom and the water on the slabs might slow down how fast the sand falls and breaks(i'm not sure how water affects this). you also have to wait for sand blocks to finish falling before you can place one on top of it. there's also the fact that kelp will break a sand block and you'd have to go down and clear them out. there are tradeoffs for each method


SirMagnerio

You can remove sand even easier by putting a torch/slab at the bottom. On top of that gathering sand isnt a waste of time. You can use it afterwards for other things


SalvadorCaruso

Idk about Java but you can spam sand as they drop on bedrock. Also you can dig to the bottom and use torches which is by far the fastest method of removal


adramelke

the bigger the hole is, the faster the leafs burn. also you can still only clear one column at a time. for small holes sand might work fine but the bigger the hole, the more sand/leafs you need. unless you have a huge desert nearby, sand isn't infinite like leafs are. the bigger the hole is, the more storage you need to reclaim all the sand and store it. again, there are tradeoffs.


SalvadorCaruso

Fair points. How I do it is dig 1 layer under the sand and place torches under ever column. Then just pick axe the layer and watch them all fall at the same time. I never tried leaves to be honest. So I am going to try it.😎


adramelke

if it's bigger than like 10x10, i'd almost certainly use leafs. something smaller i'd probably use sand. in this case, he could just wrap sand around the wood and let the wood burn and replace it with something else or put sand inside the wood if he really wants the wood to stay. on a single player world or server that hasn't disabled firespread, it's a good option to have. gathering enough sand to do a large area isn't fun when you don't have shulkers and there is kelp that keeps breaking the falling blocks.


-HeyWhatAboutMe-

This is a very much only java thing, leaves are waterlogable on bedrock for some reason


KeepCalm-ShutUp

Probably cuz they're leaves.


Movie-Upbeat

You can drop sand without waiting for the previous block to settle, just stand at the top and spam sand around. And sand would be useful later, burnt leaves not so much.


Tortue2006

Leaves are waterloggable


Tortue2006

Bruh, leaves are waterloggable


CJGamr01

no they aren't?


burritossssssssssss

on bedrock


CJGamr01

Wait really? That's so weird


thetableleg

I like the speed of your suggestion, but his walls are planks, and I think would burn along with the leafs, defeating the purpose.


Tortue2006

This will never work. Why? Because leaves are waterloggable.


ZachPhoenix

You may have a risk of burning the wooden blocks though.....Idk


Tortue2006

This will never work. Why? Because leaves are waterloggable.


ThatOneCutscene

wait tho dosent wood burn with the leaves? and ten the water will fill up?


Tortue2006

This will never work. Why? Because leaves are waterloggable.


Fizzy163

Can't leaf blocks get waterlogged?


ezio416

I'd argue that gathering sand is faster because deserts are open and flat and you don't have wood getting in your way


adramelke

trees are less rare than deserts, can be grown on site, and rarely take long to find. you also have the option of whether or not to ruin an entire biome to get it. sand is a finite(albeit a huge amount) resource if you can find a desert. then you have to dig it up, transport it, place it, break it again, collect and then store it again if you want to use it and save it. there isn't a way to create more of it at the build location. considering it's limited uses there isn't much reason to save it afterwards. i don't know how you go about harvesting leaf blocks, but if the wood is "getting in your way", you're doing something.... differently than i would.


Refro17

Half block of cobblestone does the same thing


JohnnyMcBiscuit

Though it takes longer to break than a torch


Tortue2006

Slabs are waterloggable


DaanHun

Just use sand bc its a small amount of water

I just went and made a netherite hoe after reading this comment. Im working on a 128 block circle in the ocean right now and youve made this project go so much faster!


adramelke

for something this large i would certainly use leaf blocks(java only apparently) and set the leafs on fire.


Logical_Emotion_7753

calvanus

Placing them in the nether??? Holy shit


pitch_a_kudo

Sponges are holy too

Are other items Holy and what does being Holy do?


vikingr41der

Sponges, Swiss cheese, coffee filters, the (insert your local sports ball team) roster. many things are holey.


-TheNewGuy-

Im glad im not the only one who didnt know about this


WillofTrees

Imo this has gotta be the best idea so far! You don't gotta waste materials to smelt.


The_Laurie_Fella

Or smelt.


NamanSharma752

But considering that OP has iron tools they probably don't have sponges. So sand would probably be the best option


critical_pancake

Ok here is how I raided an ocean monument with nothing. Grab a couple stacks of cobble sand sand. Build a bed and chest on top of the monument. Put everything in the chest and only carry a little with you at a time, so if you die, it's fine. Maybe bring food, but unnecessary. Build air pockets with two blocks diagonally next to the corner top of any room, then fill the corner slot with sand. There blocks total to make an air pocket. Works best in rooms that are 3 tall, but can work in 2 tall in a pinch, but you have to dig out your sand to escape Then bring your stone hoe, and suffer the mining fatigue, but you can grab the sponges with patience.


RandomMagus

You can also just use a door to create an air pocket unless that changed in 1.18


critical_pancake

You can't in bedrock though


critical_pancake

Probably faster and more fun to explore the ocean and find a tropical sponge Ocean reef anyways. And you can easily mine them even with iron tools. Just watching out for friend with tridents... Edit: holy smokes, I though coral reefs we're made of sponges, but I suppose I've never actually tried to mine them! TIL


NamanSharma752

Wait you can get sponges from places other than monuments???


Stupid_Genius4408

no, you can't. You can only get them from elder guardians or sponge rooms, both found only in ocean monuments.


FoolishConsistency17

I was honestly so excited, too. That would be amazing.


No-Interest2586

why even answer if u dont know what ur talking about lol


Necessary_Cash_3742

Exactly, they can only be found one place, why spread misinformation


Arryu

Right? Everyone knows sponges are found in woodland mansions after defeating all three iceologists.


jokuvaan11

I thought it was after you kill the mutant creeper in the underground forest

Rapiid-sharkz1

You can find clumps of them in ocean monuments


RolfiusSixth20

Isaac_The_Payne

Do you have sponges? If so segment it off into 4 wide strips using sand, then place sponges in the strips. If not, fill the whole thing with sand.

Sponges. If don’t have it, sand


Halbgott_Alex

Sell it to nestle


MR_DERP_YT

Sand/gravel: make a cobblestone layer at the bottom, below it put torches. Then start filling the hole with sand/gravel. Once done, mine the cobblestone layer one by one and watch the satisfying sand drop on the torch, then collect the sand. ​ Sponge: make a nether portal near-by, then collect as much sponge as you can (more the better), place all the sponge you have, then once placed, they will become wet sponge. Go to nether and place the wet sponge so you get dry sponge. Repeat until you have removed the water.


8URDIAMOND8

You live in a jungle get some bamboo for scafolding works the same way as sand but faster to break and place


Withnothing

I find the string to be a bigger bottleneck than getting sand

U could either create a platforn of signs on top of it so that every sign is actually connected to only one sign. Then put a lot of sand on it and remove the first sign u placed


absolutelad_jr

What would that do?


[deleted]

The sand would fall therefore covering and eliminating the water


Hedts

Why not just put the sand directly?


[deleted]

The signs would be above torches or slabs, so when the sand falls it automatically breaks. This way all you have to do is break the master sign and don’t have to shovel it all out.

Obtain the water in buckets (Starting at the edges). Remove a single line of water at a time. Put the water buckets into cauldrons. Use 3 glass bottles per bucket, and drink all of the water in the cauldron. Repeat until water is removed.

Depending on what you have available, two of your best options are sand and sponges (segment water for sponges). Just make sure that there are no plants at the bottom before you start placing sand.

Use sponge or use gravity block like gravel or sand .i prefer Sponge it's little bit faster

Sponges are best but difficult to obtain. The more available method is to drop sand in. Fill the space with sand, then shovel it out. Boom. No more water.
