Glass walkway underwater

[metouto]

I would like to make an glass enclosed walkway from my house to an island underwater ....

1) if I make this underwater is there a way to get all the water out after it is built ... like maybe a sponge ????

2) if it is made out of glass could I add track to the left and then a walkway to the right if I make it wide enough ????

thanks for any and all help

There aren't any buckets in Minetest (yet), but what you can do is build that tunnel you want first. Once completed, fill the inside with grass or bamboo entirely until all the water is gone. Then just chip away all the grass/bamboo and you'll have a underwater walkway.

It's a little work, but it should do. Unless there's an easier way somehow...

thank you Gambit .... I just never thought about that ... yes it is a little work but the results will be well worth it .... again thanks

I did it like Gambit is doing but only with dirt.

Another way is, you bild your Room with dirt, after them, you build the outside walls with your material what you want, i prefer obsidian-glass for this.
Then you have only to remove the dirt inside.

Greetings, Clyde.

P.S.: Oh, and let the corrals, they are nice dekoration.
so you can build in lava too ;-).
