It really mustn't like me then :/

Is it possible that not having the rank of trusted is affecting it?

Freekkiller:
This is a bug.

It has happened to me many times already, and when I talked in chat about it, it seemed that other players were having the same problem too, when the same 'situation' occured.

The 'situation' was always:
You start off with 1 water sourceblock. When you block off that water sourceblock somehow,the water where it used to flow out of disappears. Then, while the water is disappearing, a new water sourceblock appears right on a random place, where the water was flowing before. You end up with 2 water sourceblocks.

This doesn't always happen. It is very random on which place and what time it happens.

Thank you for posting!

It's weirdly nice that someone can confirm it is a bug.

Now, I spent my placement year of university as a support developer, which meant I dealt with bugs in a system on a daily basis, so I like to think I've gotten pretty good at honing in on the problem, however, I don't have enough information to draw a proper conclusion yet, all I have so far is:

1. When a water source block is removed and the water drained, there is a chance that another water source block is created on 1 (or potentially more) of the blocks that has/previously had water on.

2. Attempting to recreate this in single player mode fails.

3. According to the wiki about how water source creation works, this shouldn't happen. As has been said already, a block needs to adjacent water source blocks for one to be created, which is 1 way a water source block is spawned. This isn't the case. Another way is out of a bucket or dispenser, which also isn't the case. The third that I know of is when terrain is generated, which is definitely not the case here.

As far as I can tell, that means it's either a problem with how SMP works in general or it's a plugin that is installed on the server.

However, I s'pose it is possible that I was 'unlucky' with my attempts to recreate it on single player, but I left it a good while and it yielded a negative result.

So, I'll return to my topic title: What plugins are there that affect water? If you tell me what plugins there are, I might be able to create a private server and attempt to recreate it that way until I can isolate the cause of the problem, because I really don't have anything better to do at the minute and this bug is really annoying me.

frobalt:
Sorry for the double post, but would really appreciate someone answering this question so I can try and investigate the cause of the bug.

I'm sure I'm not the only 1 that would like to see this fixed. It's the only thing keeping my xp farm from being efficient; I need water to move mobs as only those in a certain range move which severely limits efficiency.
