Every base looks better with a little sea level rise. These are the machines the drainers don't want you to have - decoded, tested, and ready to place block by block.
Select build tier based on your server resources and target flood velocity.
EASY DIFFICULTY
Two-Piston Water Runner
⏱ ~1 MIN BUILD💰 Loading...3×2×3 Grid18 BLOCKS⬇ Schematic
Two sticky pistons, two observers, and a cobblestone tray holding seven buckets of water. The whole thing fits in a 4x4 hole and goes down in about a minute, so it is the one to start with if you have never built a flying machine before.

Deployment & Activation Notes
⚡ ACTIVATION OBSERVER
The observer highlighted in gold in the 3D viewer is the activation observer. Trigger or update this observer to start the engine.
⬆ BUILD AT THE HEIGHT LIMIT
Place the machine as high as the world lets you, Y 319, and run it from there. Water spreads down, so the higher it starts the more of the base ends up underneath it - building at the limit floods the maximum volume in one pass.

Long-Haul Slime Runner
⏱ ~5 MIN BUILD💰 Loading...7×3×12 Grid42 BLOCKS⬇ Schematic
Forty-four blocks of slime with fourteen sticky pistons shoving it along. This one is about distance rather than volume. It only carries two buckets, but it will keep running in a straight line for as long as the chunks stay loaded.

Ice Wall Rig
⏱ ~20 MIN BUILD💰 Loading...11×3×16 Grid78 BLOCKS⬇ Schematic
2,729 blocks of ice stacked into a wall 232 long and 10 high, dragged by 79 sticky pistons, with 58 buckets of water fed through the frame. Bring shulkers. Even when you know the layout this is a twenty minute job.

Litematica guide
Open the schematic walkthrough and follow the same build order inside Minecraft with Litematica.
How to use it
Import the schematic into Litematica.
Match the layer slider to the level shown in the video.
Place each block in the order shown, then rotate the view as needed.
Use the guide as a build check before you start the real run.
Put your name down for a machine and let someone with deeper pockets pay for it, or fund somebody else's build. Every request comes with a ready-made /pay command.

Before you ask
The short version of everything people message us about.
Is this against server rules?
No. Flooding is allowed under DonutSMP's rules.
Will this work across chunk borders?
Yes. As long as chunks are actively rendered and loaded by your client or player render distance, flying machines propagate reliably.
Does this actually affect the border?
No. Flooding is cosmetic chaos, not a border lever.
