How to build it
- Get the blocks from the list above.
- Pick a flat spot that is at least 11 by 11 blocks.
- Press Start building. The guide shows one layer at a time. Put blocks on the yellow squares and press I placed them.
- After each layer you get a little party. After the last one, you get a badge in My builds.
Good to know
- Water is not counted as blocks: pour 1 water bucket on the top block and 1 or 2 in the pool.
- Water flows down the column into the bowl and the pool by itself.

Build a round pool with a rim, a column in the middle and a small bowl on top. Then pour a water bucket on the top block: the water runs down into the bowl and the pool.
