Fountains

Fountains can add asthetic appeal to an open space without the use of many resources, whilst being easy to build

 Materials 

4 Buckets of water

Dirt

Pick (if you will be digging in stone)

 Instructions 

1: Dig out the border of a 4x4 hole.

2: Raise the 2x2 platform in the center to the height you want.

3: Place the 4 buckets of water on the 2x2 platform, one on each corner.

4: Remove the build up on the 2x2 platform, leaving the original platform with trench.

5: Edge the trench in the building material of your house, or, if the resources are available, glowstone and stone half blocks look very pleasing.

6 (Optional): Edit the design to suit your own purposes

7: Enjoy!
