The Chaos Cubed drop added loads with its sulfur caves, those simply unhinged sulfur cubes, and a handful of smaller mechanics, which can be clean misses if you blink. Geysers fall into that second category. They don’t get nearly as great a deal of attention as the brand new mobs; however, once you’ve actually messed around with one, you will in all likelihood emerge with a greater appreciation for them than you predicted.
you may locate them certainly; if you stumble into a sulfur spring on the floor they erupt steam, on occasion nonstop, occasionally in bursts, and work a lot like the bubble columns’ soul sand creates underwater. except louder. And virtually greater amusement to launch yourself out of.
if you’d, as a substitute, build your very own rather than looking one down, here’s how.

What you actually need
You’re working with four things here, and none of them are exotic:
- Potent sulfur
- Lava or magma
- Water
- Whatever building block you want for the chute
That’s the whole list. The only one that might slow you down is the sulfur.
Getting potent sulfur
This block is new to Chaos Cubed, and it spawns obviously in internal sulfur caves and around sulfur springs. in case you’d, as a substitute, no longer move to spelunking for it, you could simply craft it. 9 everyday sulfur blocks get you one mighty sulfur block; no surprises there.
Lava, magma, and water are all things you’ve possibly tripped over a hundred times already in case you’ve put any actual hours into this sport. Lava’s everywhere: on the surface, in swimming pools deep underground, and all through the Nether. Magma blocks display up on ocean floors and in the Nether too, or you could craft one out of 4 magma creams in case you’ve been given a Nether citadel close by (or a Witch having a terrible day). Water’s, well, water. you’ll discover it without trying.
Building the geyser
Step 1: Lay down lava or magma
This is the decision that determines how your geyser behaves later, so don’t skip past it.
Go with lava if you want something that erupts constantly steam just keeps coming, no waiting around. Go with magma if you don’t mind a bit of suspense; those erupt periodically, so you’ll get bursts rather than a steady stream.
Step 2: Drop potent sulfur right on top
Place your potent sulfur block directly above whichever one you picked. Directly above, not diagonal, not one block over. It needs to sit right on it.
Step 3: Wall it in and pour water over the sulfur
Now build a chute around the sulfur block using whatever you’ve got. Glass works well if you want to actually see the eruption happening inside, which is honestly half the fun of building one of these in the first place.
Once the chute’s up, place water directly over the potent sulfur. That’s the trigger.
And that’s it, really. If you went with lava, you’d see steam firing continuously almost right away. If you went with magma, give it a minute; the eruption’s coming, it’s just not in a rush.
Geyser FAQ
Why isn’t my geyser working?
Nine times out of ten it’s the water column. The vertical channel needs to sit between one and four blocks tall go outside that range and the whole thing just won’t trigger. Also worth checking: every water block in that channel needs to be a full source block, not flowing water that’s lost its “source” status. If you’re not sure, just use separate water buckets for each block or place algae to force a clean vertical stream of source blocks.
How tall does the eruption actually get?
Depends entirely on how much water you stack above the sulfur:
- 1 water block: 5 blocks tall
- 2 water blocks: 10 blocks tall
- 3 water blocks: 15 blocks tall
- 4 water blocks: 20 blocks tall
So if you’re trying to build something that launches you genuinely high, four blocks of water is the move.
What’s a geyser actually good for?
More than you’d think going in. The obvious use is as a makeshift elevator – way more dramatic than a soul sand bubble column and a lot more fun if you’re building something with style in mind rather than just function. People have also used eruptions to fling mobs and other entities around, which gets chaotic fast. And if you’re into that build, you can rig one into an elytra launcher which, once you’ve tried it, is hard to go back to.
