Water is a group of liquids that can be found occupying pits. Like all liquids, water will flow into empty pits, occupying the space.
The player is able to interact with water in several different ways. Bridges can be constructed overtop water to allow the play to cross without destroying the water or any decoration that might be found within. Boats can also be used to freely traverse water, which is especially helpful when navigating large bodies of water, such as the Sunken Sea. Players are also able to fish in water with fishing rods of the appropriate level.
Players can transport water to new locations using a Bucket. Some water types will retain their source fishing loot pools, normal water will take on whatever fishing loot pool is native to that biome.
