I'm trying to make a flying structure that has water flowing down from it to the ground. However, when it spawns in, the flowing water is frozen in the same way it was left when I saved it with the structure block, so it is still floating midair without flowing to the ground. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:
I think the issue is that the mod is placing down the "flowing" water blocks, but since they haven't received an update, they don't continue flowing down to the ground after being placed---similar to how the floating patches of sand and gravel sometimes generate in natural world generation. So my question is, how do I fix this? I would like the water to flow all the way down to the ground. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Could make a custom block that ticks once, and is part of the structure, once it ticks it would schedule tick update of water at x y+1 z, then replace itself with the other block you want it to be replaced with. you can also set it to have no creative tab so it doesnt show up unless doing it by command
