Every water fountain in its enabled and disabled states on  Desktop,  Console, and  Mobile.

Every water fountain in its disabled and enabled states on  Old-gen console and 3DS. The three fountains at the bottom are not implemented.

Water fountains are mechanisms that change the color of all nearby water. They can be activated via ⚷ Open / Activate or wire. There are currently 10 / 8 different obtainable fountains, all of which are purchased from the Witch Doctor for 4 each at any time. On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS versions, they are able to be purchased for free, but are only available after Plantera has been defeated. The range of a Fountain is (when measured from the edges of the sprite) 60 tiles left, 53 tiles up, 60 tiles right, and 53 tiles down

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.
• If using the Biome Hair Dye from the Stylist, the player's hair will change color to that of the biome represented by the fountain.
• 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.
