(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 knew exactly where they got the idea from, and then they made it worse (see: hideous) because we can’t have nice things in official Minecraft.

        If they do a truly great job once, it sets a benchmark they have to hit next time and that’s too much like actual work.
