Throughout the overworld, geysers are now bursting with steam, launching players and mobs alike so high they are sometimes never again seen! So, today, we explain step by step how to build a Minecraft geyser at home, complete with functioning eruptions exactly like those that generate naturally.

What Is a Minecraft Geyser?

Minecraft geysers are a new type of world generation found across the overworld that indicate a sulfur caves biome is somewhere below. However, beyond being a biome indicator, they also erupt with steam on a random but short cooldown. These steam eruptions launch players, mobs, and items alike up into the sky, creating possibilities for both fun and automation. But to build a Minecraft geyser of your very own and have it actually erupt, a few blocks must be placed in a very specific order.

Required Blocks

• Magma Block
• Potent Sulfur Block
• Bucket of Water x 4

Building a functioning Minecraft geyser requires a magma block, a potent sulfur block, and up to four buckets of water. The magma block can be found in underwater overworld caves, the nether, or crafted with four magma cream. The potent sulfur block, on the other hand, can be found in sulfur cave biomes or crafted with nine sulfur blocks. Should a naturally generated geyser be found out in the world, both blocks can also be obtained by dismantling it with a pickaxe, saving quite a bit of time.

How to Build a Minecraft Geyser

Minecraft geysers have four levels of eruption strength determined by the amount of water used in the build. Below, we have included four sets of steps, with the first being for a minimal-strength geyser and the last being for one of maximum strength. The blocks surrounding the geyser have no effect on its functionality.

Level 1 Geyser (Minimum)

1. Dig three blocks down.
2. Place the magma block at the bottom.
3. Place the potent sulfur block on top of the magma block.
4. Fill the last block of the hole with water.

Level 2 Geyser

1. Dig four blocks down.
2. Place the magma block at the bottom.
3. Place the potent sulfur block on top of the magma block.
4. Fill the remaining two blocks of the hole with water source blocks.

Level 3 Geyser

1. Dig five blocks down.
2. Place the magma block at the bottom.
3. Place the potent sulfur block on top of the magma block.
4. Fill the remaining three blocks of the hole with water source blocks.

Level 4 Geyser (Maximum)

5. Dig six blocks down.
6. Place the magma block at the bottom.
7. Place the potent sulfur block on top of the magma block.
8. Fill the remaining four blocks of the hole with water source blocks.

Any amount of water beyond four blocks will cause a geyser to not work.
