Design an Underwater Base with Integrated Water Circulation

Planning Your Layout

Use copper grates to hide bubble column mechanics while maintaining an open, aesthetic underwater interior.

1. Identify floor areas where you want water circulation (elevators or current effects)

2. Place soul sand or magma blocks beneath the floor level

3. Install copper grates flush with your floor surface

4. Build your base structure above, with water columns integrated into walls or corners

Building Seamlessly

Since bubble effects pass through copper grates, you can create functional water features without breaking your interior design. Use this for:

• Vertical transit between base levels
• Directional water currents for navigation
• Aesthetic water features that also serve mechanical purposes

Copper grates in any oxidation state work identically for this mod's mechanics, so you can choose your preferred visual style. Waxed variants prevent further oxidation if you want a specific look long-term.
