Notes

  • Fountains work in priority from right to left. The furthest fountain to the right of a group of fountains will take priority over the water color of the overlapping affected areas.
  • Water fountains will change the color of water when the player is within about 100 blocks of the fountain.
  • Water fountains alter the color of the rain produced by the Eyebrella, the eye color of Cute Fishron when the bonus is active, and the player's hair color while Biome Hair Dye is used.
  • The effects of fountains are purely cosmetic. They have no effect on fishing, etc.
  • Water Fountains will not color Waterfall Blocks, or their respective wall.

Trivia

  • The tile sprites for the Cavern Water Fountain were included in the files along with the rest of the water fountains since 1.3.0.1, but were not properly utilized until 1.4.0.1.
  • Despite any given world only having one type of world evil, the Witch Doctor will still sell both types.
  • Despite the Hallow being a Hardmode feature, the Witch Doctor will sell the Hallowed Fountain at any time, even in pre-Hardmode.
  • After the fountains were re-sprited in 1.3.0.1, the Icy Water Fountain became the only fountain to have a colored part in its deactivated sprite.
