Make It Bounce in Minecraft
In this instructible I will be showing you how to make a bouncing wave in Minecraft. I also hand made your mascot ;).
Supplies
You will need the game Minecraft, and these materials: Water bucket, Sand, Any type of sign, soul sand, spruce planks
Starting the Build
First make a area that you will build at, it could be 4x4, 5x5, etc. Then make a 4 block deep hole filled with water, (you will need to put a whole water "block" on each space that you have made) to actually make the bouncer you will need to place the soul sand at the bottom of the water. Then on the top of your hole in any corner, add a block on top of your perimeter.
Placing the Sand the Right Way
Next, you will need your sand and your signs. Place your sign on the block on your perimeter facing inwards to your water hole, then you will need to place sand on top of the sign while crouching and clicking the sign hitbox which is a black outline when you hover your mouse over the sign.
Building the Sand Up
Repeat the sign and sand, placing on both sides of the sand you just placed, and place another block of sand on the signs.
Finishing the Sand Diamond
Now repeat these steps until you have sand and signs over your entire area. Every time you place a sand make sure it does not go past the corner. once the sand hits the corner you got to make the diamond start shrinking. First the diamond should expand and then once you find it hitting the corner you have to shrink the diamond. You can see in the picture with 4 sand on top they match up with the corner. on the picture facing upwards it start shrinking.
Finished Product
Lastly you break the first sign, on the block on top of your perimeter. Then your sand blocks will bounce.
I made a giant version of the little version I have been showing you all. The bigger you make it the smoother and cooler the bouncing sand will be.
