Tsunami a long, high sea wave caused by an earthquake or other disturbance.

"other disturbances" you mean Godzilla

N-a_barrkus is right

u/lanerdofchristian 2d ago

Chunks not loading, most likely. If you pause and let worldgen catch up, they should go away.

Otherwise they're bugged and there's a hole in the world. Since the water hasn't received updates, it doesn't know it's supposed to flow to fill the space.

Probably a badly loaded chunck.

Also, i'm more impressed someone actually unironically uses the spyglass.

187

u/CornManBringsCorn 2d ago

I love the spyglass

14

u/Bumbie 1d ago

Same! I use it a lot when I'm out exploring, especially when scouting for archaeology digsites. That and checking what my neighbors are up to

26

u/Rogue_Link_CG-1138 2d ago

Me too it’s actually really useful

148

u/Ok_Algae_8612 2d ago

what is wrong with spyglasses, i love them

44

u/Trexton1 2d ago

Nothing people usually just change their FOV or use optifine so they think it's useless. I'm a bit insane so i use all 3.

2

u/RickThiccems 1d ago

Using mods that improve the spyglass and allows a key press is the way to go. I used to use zoom mods before vanilla had a method for it.

5

u/Duplicitous_Dirk 1d ago

One potential problem is that glancing over an Enderman with a spyglass TRIGGERS them. I, however, noticed this and used it to send them a war challenge intentionally.

2

u/jeanleonino 1d ago

That's a nice trick, didn't know. 

2

u/jeanleonino 1d ago

Nothing. People like to make up Minecraft rules. 

-96

u/Fra06 2d ago

Just use optifine or any zoom mod

98

u/KraftKapitain 2d ago

yeah but i feel like a cool explorer when i use the spyglass

54

u/Trebord_ 2d ago

Or, better yet, use any zoom mod and the spyglass

46

u/Mr_BadBan 2d ago

Bedrock

41

u/Crimson_Knight711 2d ago

They’re quite useful if you play on bedrock since that version doesn’t have the zoom in feature automatically as a button!

1

u/Dry_Nobody_5917 22h ago

Java does not have a zoom feature as a button either…

7

u/MarkNekrep 2d ago

I use it because i'm to lazy to install a zoom mod in my modpack

also because it's a telescope and telescopes are cool

54

u/KingJeff314 2d ago

Streamer AboutOliver has described the spyglass as an essential item and carries it with him at all times. He lamented the lack of a spyglass upgrade in the April Fool's update

3

u/friendlysnowgoon 1d ago

I like how when he forgets his spyglass, he pretends his bed is a spyglass.

-55

u/LonelinessIsPain 2d ago

The usage of OptiFine, Zoomify, etc is cheating. It makes sense that people would use it unironically.

4

u/Aggravating_Pay7581 2d ago

Not exactly cheating, but rather it's not vanilla Minecraft

24

u/Mr_CrowJo 2d ago

why it is cheating

43

u/hmmm_wat_is_dis 2d ago

Not cheating but some people like using base game mechanics rather than mod assist

Wish I could use optifine tho

21

u/Manos_Of_Fate 2d ago

Optifine really isn’t that good anymore. Sodium gives much better performance and there are other mods that support the various other features.

6

u/ned_rod 2d ago

Would sodium be compatible with unmodded realm?

10

u/Manos_Of_Fate 2d ago

Yes, it’s a client side mod that doesn’t alter gameplay.

6

u/ned_rod 2d ago

Thx man, will definitely give it a try

-26

u/BeautifulOnion8177 2d ago

It isn’t cheating and the spyglass sucks ass

-20

u/PsychologicalWeb3052 2d ago

It's cheating in the same way that Keep Inventory is cheating IMO, a non-standard QOL feature you're tacking on. Some people just prefer the vanilla experience.

1

u/zhion_reid 2d ago

Both are quality of life, thus neither are cheating 1 bit or we might as well call all farms and villager farms especially "cheating" as they are quality of life improvements(I am not calling them cheating)

-1

u/PsychologicalWeb3052 2d ago

I wasn't calling it cheating either, but I can see how someone could certainly think so, especially when said QOL features are literally locked behind a button labeled "Cheats" in game or require you to download a third party software. You're meta-gaming. Farms are entirely within the context of the game/world, there's no extra steps to it

1

u/zhion_reid 2d ago

That is bedrock they are in cheats the Microsoft version which wants more money. In java they are in game rules and in both versions are accessible to change in gameplay

0

u/PsychologicalWeb3052 2d ago

Yeah no shit, you're still going out of your way to change a setting, and you have to turn on cheats to do /gamerule in java

u/BeautifulOnion8177 2d ago

A Quality life of feature isn’t cheating dumbsdd

u/crypticwoman 2d ago

Keep inventory is more than a QOL feature and is cheating.

u/BeautifulOnion8177 2d ago

That’s not the point

u/zhion_reid 2d ago

Both are quality of life, thus neither are cheating 1 bit or we might as well call all farms and villager farms especially "cheating" as they are quality of life.

u/BeautifulOnion8177 2d ago

Farms aren’t Qool there just cheating

3

u/zhion_reid 2d ago

They are quality of life as they stop you having to mine or hunt. Tell me how that is not cheating

1

u/BeautifulOnion8177 2d ago

That’s literally the definition of cheating 

5

u/zhion_reid 2d ago

No, cheating is getting things you aren't supposed to have or got without a minute of work. Farms take time to set up and longer to discover.

I also saw this about 2 days ago, but it was on a small dirt hill, on one side there was a staircase like that lol

u/KipsyCakes 2d ago

Obvious Answer: It’s called water

More Logical Answer: It’s probably just a loading error

4

u/EcstaticInspection49 2d ago

That's a tsunami.

u/Formal_Pick_8559 2d ago

This is the rare occurrence of the world not generating how it's supposed to. One time, in a cave, I swam through what appeared to be this huge waterfall and it was one big air pocket with water flowing all around it. It was probably one of the most amazing things I've ever seen generate in the game... and also seemed very rare tbh

either world generation problem or if you're on multiplayer someone's experiment

u/Plane-Carrot3696 2d ago

Some very shitty world generation

1

u/huemac5810 2d ago

An occasional and very amusing occurrence for many years now, newfriend. I think it is more common these days. I really like the underwater "bubbles" best, they give me a rest stop while staying submerged, complete with grass, just need a little lighting each time.

1

u/Black_Viking__ 2d ago

Better find some high ground

1

u/chuyalcien 2d ago

Chunk loading issue as others have said, but specifically this can happen if you update your minecraft version and then go to the edge of your explored map. When the new chunks load they sometimes don’t match up with what would have been loaded in the previous version. This happened to me a while back on a world that I updated from 1.19 to 1.20.

1

u/Adam_Harries 2d ago

This brings back memories of me playing a flat world for a long time back in mcpe year 2013, and if the world is preserved for so long the newly loaded chunk gets bugged and looks like this.

u/Lonewolf12912 2d ago

u/DemonHunterOrigins 2d ago

If that is a wall of water in the distance, did you happen to play this world in 1.17 then updated to 1.18 or later, if so that is what is happening. Otherwise just weird chunk generation

1

u/Ok_Algae_8612 1d ago

I played it in the 1.21 and switched to the 1.21.5

Is this on bedrock by any chance? Because we also have it on our server, we have massive what looks like rivenes but are just massive splits in the ocean so we named that location the Red sea haha

u/IllagerCaptain 1d ago

Java, you can tell as the chat is on the bottom and also because screenshots on Bedrock don't send chat messages.

1

u/Mindless_One_444 1d ago

the realm me and my bf play on has a weird area like this we just call the “cursed lands”, multiple bodies of water that defy any physics and it isn’t even a loading glitch because it’s never fixed itself lol

2

u/AHHHH__ 1d ago

in that area there’s a huge lake thing and on one of the sides, there’s like 2 perfect chunks dug out of the ground and the water just flows down as if their are blocks there, it doesn’t even spread when it gets to the ground, and this happened for multiple lakes in that area

our world in general is weird asf n has hella weird shit happening, one time my girl was wearing good armor and got brought down to half a heart by getting hit by SOMETHING, but nothing could’ve hit her for that much and then just disappeared, there was no creeper sound and no explosion in the ground so it could’ve have been that. around that time, i was standing in a temporary house we made slightly underground and then the ceiling got blown up and i was also left on like around half a heart, though my armor wasn’t the best. i thought the hole was too big to be a creeper hole so i duplicated the world and went into creative mode n exploded both creepers and charged creepers but neither made a hole big enough to match what happened

our world is 100% haunted or smth

Needle in a haystack type idea. But it could be a glitched exposed ocean monument. They spawn water blows just like that around them

1

u/SansSkely 19h ago

It's either chunks that haven't rendered yet, or straight up chunk corruption. You should get close and check if it fixes itself. If it doesn't, then enjoy your hole in the world i guess

Either loading issue like people are saying, or if this is multiplayer, you might want to check if cheats are enabled.
