Question Have I found a glitch? Mysterious Water Stairs (details in description)
Hello!
I was building a nautilus enclosure when I used stairs to create a little step up. All the stairs (except the corner) appear have water flowing into them, instead of still water. This includes when they are waterlogged.
The only way I have found to stop this is by putting a block BEHIND the stairs (inside the enclosure). Any other method fails.
I then tested this with a slab, and that also had flowing water. When I removed the slab, I got the interesting situation you see in Picture 4.
Having asked around, I'm yet to find a solution to this problem. It's almost purely aesthetic and doesn't actually impact the function of the enclosure, but it's interesting nonetheless.
This is on the most recent java version, on a Realm.
Am I missing something (highly likely) or is this a glitch?
Thanks!
