Lately, I’ve been obsessed with brewing potions, and with the cold weather, I love taking baths. My household water usage has skyrocketed. However, my home is quite far from the water source. Making frequent trips to fetch water is inconvenient if I carry too little each time. So, I decided to install “running water” for my house—a hidden “indoor water supply”! Let’s take a look together~
Hidden Indoor Water Supply
Version: Bedrock Edition (works on mobile too)
Before we start, let me briefly explain the circuit principle we’ll be using today. When the block a Redstone Torch is attached to is powered, the torch turns off and stops emitting power.
Therefore, by utilizing this feature, we can use the same circuit to make identical Redstone components exhibit different states.
After understanding the principle, we can begin~
First, we place a Cauldron for holding water and a Sticky Piston for pushing/pulling the cauldron, as shown below.
Then, place any type of stairs above the Sticky Piston, and put signs on both sides of the stairs to block water—just like making a chair.
Also, place any blocks on both sides of the Cauldron. I only have ordinary blocks left here, so I’ll use them for demonstration. These two blocks prevent a serious “water-flooding” accident after the piston extends.
Place any block above the “chair” part and on the last exposed side of the Cauldron (the block next to the Cauldron should ideally match the wall material of your house for aesthetics). Then, attach another Sticky Piston with its head facing downward to the block above the “chair.”
Add another block above the “chair.” On the side of this block facing the Sticky Piston, place a Redstone Torch to activate the Sticky Piston, connecting it to the block below.
Place two more blocks behind the piston (above the one with the torch). Then, following the image below, attach another Sticky Piston to the top block, and place a Redstone Block underneath this piston. The Redstone Block will be used to control the piston connected to the Cauldron~
Now for the final circuit part—it’s very simple! First, place Redstone Dust on the surface of the block with the Redstone Torch and on the surface of the block diagonally behind and below it.
Then, go to the front and place blocks in a descending step pattern as shown below, setting the stage for extending the circuit.
Place Redstone Dust on all the surfaces of the newly added blocks. Place a Lever on the last block.
Don’t forget to add some water to the “chair” part. With this, the machine is complete.
Let’s see a demonstration of the bare machine. Simply pull the Lever, and you can continuously draw water from the Cauldron. When not in use, flip the Lever down, and the Cauldron will be hidden behind ordinary blocks.
Now, let’s see how it looks indoors. Remember to adjust the extended circuit according to your house’s actual layout~
Without pulling the Lever, you’d really have no idea where the water comes from. This saves space and also a lot of time spent fetching water~
I wonder if all you adventurers have gained a new understanding of Redstone circuits through this simple little machine? With some modifications, this can also be used to hide other things!
