minecraft was such a good game pre 2016

If it were an additional method of collecting water it would have been fine. It's model and mechanics suggests it's a dew collector (does it work faster when it rains?). But yeah, they should have kept in the option to fill jars from a river. More annoying is how much 'heat' those things generate. It makes sense why a generator running would attract zombies, but a plastic drum with a tarp funneling into it shouldn't be noticable at all to a zombie. Yet have a couple of water collectors and you'll be dealing with screamers every 10 minutes.
