If we put a bucket of water in a dispenser and activate, it will leave a permanent water source.

Thanks!

I'm assuming that you want this to function as emptying a bucket normally?

My thinking is if players go to lengths like these (similar to mining ice) then I think it's somewhat deserved? Idk.

A dispenser (5 cobblestone, bow, redstone) is not as difficult to produce as an enchanting_table (5 obsidian, 2 diamond, book, plus sufficient experience to use the table), but not trivial. So I guess I vote it "ok" as an acceptable water source. And clever, as most pseudo-exploits tend to be.

So this was actually supposed to be stopped by EHM. Spigot changes to the BlockDispenseEvent broke this (BlockDispenseEvent#getVelocity() returns the location the water source is placed, not its "velocity.")

Nice. Thanks.
