So... ya just downloaded 1.9.
Its grate and all, but its now raining permanently in my underwater bass.
Maybe Notch should make it so it only water/lava leaks though smooth stone, and dirt?
It's also kinda pointless when GLASS roof's leak... seeing as you can just look thought the glass to see water/lava on top of it.
Don't know if someone already started a topic about this just wanted to share my thoughts.

never tried it myself, but what if you double up the glass in the roof? does it still leak?

well that's the thing should I really need to double up my entire glass base and underwater glass tunnels just to stop a feature that is meant to tell players there is water/lava above them? that and building underwater already is a pain in itself.
well that and most of its glass... how can water leak though solid GLASS?

It's two blocks to stop dripping, and it's not to alert players. It's there for aesthetic purposes.

ya maybe I can see that for some stuff but glass?
maybe there should be some blocks it will leak though(dirt, cobble, smooth stone) and some blocks that it will not(wood, glass, man-made stuff?)

because its not solid glass? they are made of blocks stuck together end to end.
The OP is talking about rain, not leaking. And I've seen this myself- there are some glitches where it will actually rain inside, and it's not always consistent.
The first house I built in 1.9p2 was your basic turf shack. It didn't rain inside at all. I recently began replacing my walls and roof with other materials. Now about half my house rains indoors, but the other half doesn't. It's all the same roofing material, same thickness, etc.
I haven't played around with it enough to figure out exactly what's going on or if there's a way to re-build to prevent it. Since it's just cosmetic, I really don't care all that much. But it is a little annoying sometimes.
Edit- After re-reading the OP, I guess he is talking about leaking not actual Rain. Which kind of should be expected for an underwater base. I do agree, however, that only certain types of blocks should leak, not all of them and certainly not glass.
Well it shouldnt be literally raining in the house. I thought it was fixed shortly after rain was introduced.
But yeah. Just download TooManyItems. Give yourself a **** ton of glass and double it up. Not from the inside, but the outside, this way you still keep the same exact space.
Perhaps this will be fixed in 1.9 and maybe it wont. If not then thats how building underwater will have to work.
It sucks I know.
But I have never been much for building underwater. To much work. lol
This should be fixed. Make it no leak through Glass! :smile.gif:

With the choice of blocks that are affected, I'd expect that the ones which seem like they would leak actually do leak, such as wood, dirt, sand, gravel, cobblestone, possibly smooth stone, although that does seem a bit solid to leak.
Blocks that wouldn't leak would include: glass, blocks of ores(iron, gold, diamond, lapis) stone bricks, bricks.
Some blocks may leak trough multiple layers, at varying amounts, mainly leaves

you do know that water will leak through a wood floor right in real life
I have to say, this is awesome! Water leaking through a glass ceiling on the bottom of the ocean? TOTALLY BIOSHOCK. This makes the underwater bases wayyyyy cooler.
Seems like my opinion is diametrically opposed to your own. Shucks.

You'd have to triple up. I think I read that it's 3 blocks deep.
Edit: Never mind I tested it. Only 1 more layer will do.
But it isn't leaking. It's condensation. You'd get that in real life too.

tell me about it... I can see that one bio-shoke map made by the penny arcade guys just get ruined by this huh?

Yeah but when you place blocks of the same material next to eachother, it's supposed to imply it's all part of one chunk.

why not, it is only aesthetic...

Very few things get to me on the internet, but the constant requests for toggle to be on every single feature is really becoming quite frustrating.
