筑块为景：沙漠水井

沙漠找水易如反掌口牙！

Minecraft 中尘土飞扬的沙漠其实意外是个热闹的地方。这里有骆驼、金字塔、兔子、仙人掌、村庄、化石、熔岩池，甚至还有我最爱的枯萎的灌木。但今天我们要看的，比那壮丽的枯死灌木更低调一些。本月的结构是：沙漠水井。

Minecraft’s dusty deserts are a surprisingly vibrant place。There are camels，pyramids，rabbits，cacti，villages，fossils，lava ponds，and even – my personal favourite – dead bushes。But today we’re looking at something a little more humble than the magnificent dead bush。Our structure of the month is the desert well。

沙漠水井在 Minecraft 的历史中出现的很早——在 2012 年 3 月发布的未命名的 1.2.1 更新中实装。（不要将其与 1.21 版本混淆，后者更广为人知的名字是棘巧试炼更新）除了水井之外，1.2.1 版本还添加了丛林生物群系、僵尸围城、铁傀儡和豹猫。

Desert wells appeared relatively early in Minecraft’s history – in the unnamed 1.2.1 update released in March 2012，which is not to be confused with 1.21，better known as Tricky Trials。As well as wells，1.2.1 added jungle biomes，zombie sieges，iron golems and ocelots。

在平坦的沙漠生物群系中，水井很容易被发现。它们从沙子中探出头来——一个由砂岩构成的小型结构，中心有一桶水。它们在 Java 版中的出现频率是基岩版的五倍。也许 Java 玩家更口渴？

Wells are relatively easy to spot in the flat landscape of the desert biome。They poke up out of the sands – a small structure made of sandstone with a water source block in the centre。They’re five times more common in Java Edition than they are in Bedrock edition。Maybe Java players are thirstier？

最初，它们只是玩家在沙漠中生存的水源。但在2022年的荒野更新中，水方块下方开始生成可疑的沙子——这让喜欢考古学的玩家得以发现古代遗物。这些文物包括陶器碎片、砖块、绿宝石、木棍和一碗碗可疑的炖菜。

Originally they were just a source of water for players surviving in the desert。But in the Wild Update in 2022，suspicious sand began generating under the water block – allowing aspiring archaeologists to uncover ancient artefacts。These include pottery sherds，bricks，emeralds，sticks，and bowls of suspicious stew。

从技术上讲，沙漠井在游戏中被编码为“特征”而非“结构”，就像冰山、晶洞和熔岩湖一样。这意味着即使你在世界创建框中取消勾选“生成结构”选项，它们也会在你的世界中生成。非常抱歉——你只能学着和它们共存了。

Technically，desert wells are coded into the game as a “feature” rather than a “structure”，just like icebergs，geodes，and lava lakes。This means that they’ll spawn in your world even if you untick the “generate structures” option in the world creation box。Sorry – you’re just gonna have to live with them。

现实世界中当然存在水井，而且世界上第一批水井肯定是在类似沙漠的环境中开凿的。我们发现的最古老的水井位于现在的塞浦路斯，其历史可追溯到10000多年前。它穿过石灰岩层，直达地下8米处的水源。一些古老的水井堪称建筑奇迹，比如印度西部建于7世纪至19世纪之间的阶梯井。

Wells exist in the real world，of course，and the first ones in the world were almost certainly dug in desert-like conditions。The oldest we’ve found is from what is now Cyprus，and it dates back more than 10,000 years。It goes down through limestone to reach underground water at a depth of eight metres。Some ancient wells are architectural wonders，like the stepwells built between the 7th and 19th centuries in western India。

几个世纪以来，用手挖井一直是干旱地区获取饮用水的少数几种方式之一。它们建造成本低廉，只需一把铲子（不过在井壁周围砌砖会安全得多）。即便在今天，它们仍在许多发展中国家的农村地区被使用。但如今更常见的是使用机器钻井，并安装水泵，让取水更加轻松。

Hand-dug wells were，for centuries，one of the few ways of accessing drinking water in arid conditions。They’re cheap to build and require only a shovel (though putting bricks around the walls will make it a lot safer)。Even today，they’re used in many rural areas of developing countries。But it’s more common these days for wells to be drilled by machines and equipped with pumps that can bring water up more easily。

虽然 Minecraft 的水井似乎是自然生成的，但你完全可以毫不费力地自己造一个。你只需要一些砂岩方块、台阶和一桶水。只是向下挖时要小心，不要破坏地下洞穴的顶部。谁知道下面的黑暗中有什么在等着你……

While Minecraft’s mines seem to generate naturally in the landscape，you can of course build your own without too much difficulty。All you’ll need is some sandstone blocks and slabs，and a bucket of water。Just be careful when you’re digging down that you don’t break in through the ceiling of an underground cave。Who knows what awaits you in the darkness below…
