What is Bubble Column in Minecraft?
A bubble column is a special type of water block that is filled with beautiful rising or falling bubbles. It is not a block you can hold in your inventory, but rather an effect that happens to water. Its main purpose is to move players, mobs, and items vertically. A bubble column can either push things up towards the surface or pull them down to the ocean floor. This makes them perfect for creating super fast water elevators to get to the top of a tall tower or down to a deep mine. They are an essential part of many fun and useful redstone contraptions and a key feature that makes the underwater world feel alive and dynamic.
How to get Bubble Column in Minecraft
You cannot get a bubble column as an item in your inventory in survival mode. Instead, you create it in the world. The process is very simple. First, you need a column of water where every block is a water source block. The easiest way to do this is to fill a tall tube with water from the top down with a water bucket, or by placing kelp from the bottom to the top and then breaking it. Once you have your full water column, you need to place either a block of soul sand or a magma block at the very bottom. If you place soul sand, it will create an upward pushing bubble column. If you place a magma block, it will create a downward pulling bubble column. Soul sand and magma blocks are both found commonly in the Nether.
How to use Bubble Column in Minecraft
The main use for a bubble column is to create elevators. An upward column made with soul sand is a fantastic way to travel up quickly. Just step into it and you will be whisked away to the top. A downward column made with a magma block is the fastest way to travel down. Be careful, as standing on the magma block will hurt you unless you are sneaking or have Frost Walker boots. You can use these elevators to move items too, which is great for automatic farms. A bubble column also provides unlimited oxygen, so you can stand inside one to breathe underwater. A downward column can also be used as a mob trap, pulling unsuspecting mobs down to their doom.
