Creating Steam by Placing Water on Hot Blocks
Setting Up Hot Blocks
The mod causes water to generate visible steam whenever it comes into contact with hot surfaces. To set up this environmental interaction, gather naturally hot vanilla blocks such as magma blocks, or locate active heat sources like lava. Place these blocks down in your base, workshop, or outdoor build where you want to add an industrial or thermal aesthetic.
Introducing Water to Produce Steam
Once your hot blocks are placed, introduce water across the surface:
- Take a water bucket and place a water source directly adjacent to or flowing over the hot block.
- Alternatively, let water flow down a trench lined with magma blocks.
- Watch the contact point where the water meets the hot block; dense clouds of steam will begin rising from the surface immediately upon contact.
This visual mechanic works continuously as long as water remains in contact with the hot block, allowing you to design functional-looking saunas, geothermal vents, hot springs, or steaming boilers. If you ever want to stop the steam effect, simply retrieve the water with an empty bucket or remove the hot block from beneath the water flow.
