Hello everyone. I have been planning some mega builds near my base and the problem is that i have an ocean in that spot. Since i am not building anything in particular in the ocean or near it , i was thinking of a way to remove a massive amount of water. Anyone have a good idea how to do it ? Anything better then sand ? I heard that flying machines are good but i'm a noob at redstone ? I have uploaded a picture about the size of the water i want to remove.
1)replace them with blocks (ie, dropping sand/gravel)
2)sponges (soaks up water in a short radius, have to get them from creative or by raiding ocean monuments, which won't always have them)
3)flying machines (rather laggy, slow, and tend to leave ghost blocks)
4)commands (/fill, /setblock, etc)
#4 will be the most direct and fastest manner, but some people see that as cheating and would rather accomplish gigantic tasks like this with far less efficient methods (I dunno why).
#3 has the benefit that, assuming you build it properly and have placed down the stop blocks appropriately, can be left to finish the task without much babysitting (though like anything else you do have to remain nearby so it doesn't unload/stop working)
#2, assuming you aren't cheating some in from creative/commands, will take a bit to collect enough for the task. This is why most people combine this with sand to chop up the work area into smaller, more manageable sections.
#1 requires you to have a non-water block to place stuff on. With no land conveniently nearby, instead of building a bridge out to your work area just bring some lilypads, trapdoors, and some non-gravity blocks (these are placed under the lilypads, popping them off and giving you a place to click the gravity blocks on)
There is really only 2 options, when it comes to that much water:
-Flying machines or creative mode.
I hate sponges, they are hard to come bye & only work well on little ponds.
Plus you have to remove them and dry them up.
If you know how to install mods, you can try it with worldedit.
It saves you the time you had to spend on messing with coordinates and let you remove more blocks at once then vanilla minecraft.
If this is about a singleplayer world you started in survival mode you can download NBT Explorer. With this programm you can open the worlds savefile. Search for CommandsAllowd=0. Change the 0 to 1. Now you can enter gamemode creative.
If this is about multiplayer you should ask your friends if it's ok to cheat away the water.
Or maybe they want to help you build the flying machines.

it's faster to just open to LAN with cheats allowed, which bypasses the world's cheats setting altogether.

There is also a way by adding mods like worldedit. With commands like //drain you can remove that water
