Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the procedure on how to make an automatic pool in Minecraft, I think it is important to explain what is meant by this term.

The term “automatic pool” means a pool that can make the water come out and disappear by pressing a simple lever: it is, therefore, an excellent aesthetic element to be placed in your space on Minecraft to show to friends what you are able to do. Let’s find out how to do it right away.

How to find the materials to build an automatic swimming pool

If you want to build an automatic pool in Minecraft Survival mode, the first thing you need to do is get the necessary materials.

In particular, you’ll need to dust Redstone, redstone repeaters, Observer blocks, sticky pistons, quartz blocks, a bucket of water, quartz plates and a lever for redstone.

The redstone powder is the essential element to create simple or complex mechanisms, which can automate certain aspects of the game. Redstone can be obtained by extracting it from raw redstone or by collecting it inside the trunks scattered around the world of Minecraft. In addition, the redstone repeater is also of fundamental importance, which can be obtained through 3 units of stone blocks, 2 redstone torches and 1 unit of redstone, inserted in a workbench.

You’ll need sticky pistons next. Unlike normal pistons, sticky ones allow you to keep the block on them “glued”. A piston is made in a workbench, by putting together 4 units of crushed stone, 3 units of wooden planks, 1 iron ingot and 1 unit of redstone.

After building the piston, place it back on the workbench, along with 1 slime ball, which is obtained by defeating the slimes. The quartz blocks are obtained, however, by crafting 4 Nether Quartz objects, which can be extracted with a pickaxe in the Nether area. For more information on how to enter the Nether, I invite you to consult my guide on how to make the Nether portal. The quartz slab is crafted, on the other hand, by joining 3 quartz blocks.

To get a bucket, you must then use 3 iron ingots. You will also need to create a lever, which will serve as a switch for the automatic pool activation and deactivation mechanism. This is created in the workbench, using 1 stick and 1 unit of crushed stone. To get the latter, I recommend that you consult my guide on how to make a cobblestone generator (an infinite generator of cobblestones ).

How to build an automatic pool in Minecraft

Once you’ve gathered the right materials, I’d say you’re ready to make your own auto pool for Minecraft. In any case, if you don’t want to waste too much time, you can practice building the pool in Creative mode, where you already have all the materials you need available from the beginning.

First, you need to find a suitable space for the construction of an automatic swimming pool. My advice is to look for an open space where there are numerous blocks of land.

Now, dig a hole 7 x 8 blocks and 5 blocks deep.

After that, take the redstone dust and place it in the first row at the base of the hole.

At this point, fill the rest of the hole with redstone repeaters.

Once this is done, place Observer blocks on top of each redstone repeater. I remind you that you cannot place the Observer block directly above the repeaters, but you must leave a block of distance in height.

Next, place sticky plungers facing up on top of each Observer block.

At this point, place quartz blocks on top of each sticky piston.

Once this is done, create a sort of ladder starting from the base of the hole (from the blocks behind where you placed the redstone dust). Dig 4 blocks down in the first layer, three blocks in the second and 2 blocks in the third.

Then cover the three holes created at the top with quartz blocks.

Now, place some redstone dust on the “steps” you created.

After that, cover the last “free” row with quartz blocks.

Now, place a lever in the last quartz block at the top.

Once this is done, use the bucket of water to completely fill the pool (you have to place the water on each side).

At this point, surround the pool with quartz slabs.

Perfect, now you have successfully created your automatic pool and with the lever you can activate or deactivate it.

In case the water is not enough or you want to expand the pool, you just need to throw yourself in the water and break the internal earth blocks that surround the pool.
