How can I build on an infinite sea?

How can I build on an infinite sea? - Striped towel spread on sandy beach with straw hat and juice can

I let my small cousin play Minecraft a while, but then she came to me with a problem: She had made a new survival world which consisted only of a sea, using the superflat world prefixes. She said she likes the world and doesn't want to make a new one or fill up the water.

How can I build on an infinite sea using at most the /give command? What items will I need to use? (any offered solution will be appreciated).



Best Answer

Here's what I found out:

Method #1:

Use Lilypad(s), Lava Bucket and preferably a Pickaxe.

  1. Place 1 Lilypad on the water.
  2. Spill the lava on it
  3. Take the lava back
  4. Take or keep the stone generated
  5. Repeat steps 1-5

Method #2

Quickly execute these commands when nobody is looking:

/fill ~ ~ ~ ~+12 ~-5 ~+12 minecraft:sponge 0 hollow

/fill ~ ~ ~ ~+12 ~-5 ~+12 minecraft:cobblestone 0 replace minecraft:sponge

/tp ~ ~-2 ~

Now give yourself some items and you're done!
