About

Water is a fluid block that fills the world's oceans, rivers, and lakes. It cannot be dug or collected into your inventory as a physical item, even with tools. On servers where you need to place water outside the natural terrain, use the minecraft:water item ID with the give command to spawn it directly into a player's inventory.

Water flows and has physics, it spreads downward and horizontally until it reaches a barrier or runs out of space. This makes it useful for mob farms, transportation systems, and decorative builds. Because it is non-stackable, giving water to a player creates a single-slot item regardless of the quantity specified in the command.
