(Image alt: 3D rendering of one of the new spring variants. It is much shallower and wider than the previous designs, featuring a water pool around 8 blocks in diameter, surrounded by a sulfur and granite ring. It also extends down into the ground with tuff and granite.)

Of course, the one pictured is only one of many variants, you can see a full list here:

I personally think it’s a good step in the right direction. It’s obviously a response to all the negative player feedback as of late regarding the original spring designs and I feel like it addresses it well.

      I think it has to do with “poor” design, since the springs were quite ugly, frankly.

      This is the “old/original” design.

        Is that actually what they released like? I don’t play unmodded latest version vanilla minecraft so I’m usually pretty insulated from the garbage they shovel in there, but like wow, that’s really shit. Is that what passes the bar for innovation at Microsoft these days?
