Water in the Nether

Water was placed in various locations in the Nether during MindCrack Season 3. In Minecraft Beta 1.9pre4, the enchantment Silk Touch was implemented into the game that allowed players to mine almost any block without it breaking. The enchantment also allowed the ability to mine Ice and in effect place water in the Nether, which is unintended behavior. This was patched in the next update, Beta 1.9pre5. The server was using the latest updates at the time[1] so this gave a very small window of opportunity to harvest Ice. Silk Touch on Ice was reintroduced in snapshot 12w17a for Minecraft 1.3 but the ability to place water in the Nether using Ice was removed.[2]
