Usage

Water troughs can behold placedfour inbuckets Waterof Troughs,water per individual troughs. Right-click a water trough with to place it inside the trough. Alternatively, use a Spigot to fill your barrels easily without going back and thenforth between a water source or needing multiple buckets. The water level will gradually rise until it is near the brim, at which point the barrel contains the maximum amount of water.  SWEM Horses can come towill drink from them.accessible Eachhalf Waterbarrels Troughand cantroughs holdwhen four(4)thirsty.

Placement

When a circularwater appearance.trough Water troughsis placed adjacent to eachanother trough it will become a larger trough; connecting on the attached sides. Up to 4 troughs can be connected, allowing up to 16 buckets worth of water - perfect for large multi-horse pastures.

Water troughs will only join other cantroughs joinfacing the same direction, directly next to them (similar to Separators). Face a single direction, placing each trough next to the other while moving sideways rather than turning. Troughs cannot be joined at intersections to make oneL/U longershaped troughor (circular troughs.

Known Issues

  • [Common] Occasionally, when there is a block or spigot above the half-barrel, it does not visually render water. The item is still functional, and removing any blocks above will usually correct the render issue.
  • [Common - Compatability] Multiple troughs as a tiling/connective block can represent some problems with World Edit when selections are rotated from their original axis. Unlike other multiblock items such as stall doors, gates and jumps, they usually do not present any issue with corruption of schematics or other game-breaking issues, but can become displaced (incorrectly rotated). It is recommended that you remove multiblock items pre-world edit +/- schematics, and replace after.
