Endless circling pools, also known as AFK pools, will let the player or any player-sized mob that gets in the water circle endlessly around the center. Most servers prevent players from being idle for too long by kicking them after 15 minutes or more. Even if you use the AFK command (if the plugin is installed), you will still be kicked, so some players make "AFK Pools" to prevent being kicked.

Construction notes
- The stone bricks can be any solid block.
- The slab Slab Transparency Double slab: No Single slab: Partial (blocks light) Luminance No Blast resistance Wood: 15 Stone: 30 Tools Renewable Stone: Yes Wood: Yes (except Fake Wood) Cobblestone: Yes Stone Brick: Yes Purpur: Yes Quartz: can be of any type. It can be any block one automatically step up onto, that water will not wash away. It can also be stairs Stairs Transparency Partial (blocks light) Luminance No Blast resistance Wood: 15 Stone: 30 Sandstone, Quartz, Red Sandstone: 4 Tools Renewable Cobblestone, Stone Brick, Wood, Purpur: Yes All others: No Stackable Yes (64) Flammable Wood: Yes positioned so that it steps from the lowest water up into the water source.
- The water source block (marked with an S) will flow down, and around to under the sign Sign Type Non-Solid Block Physics No Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 5 Hardness 1 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (16) Flammable No, but catches fire from lava (Yes in Pocket Edition) First appearances See .
- After the water is flowing correctly, the sign can usually be removed without making water flow in both directions.
Usage notes
- The sound that the water makes may disturb the player.
- These are commonly used for AFK players so that they won`t get kicked off.
- Sometimes you will stop moving and will need to manually move the player to start again.
- This may be against the rules of your server, particularly if it has an auto rank system to give benefits for playing longer, or is often near the player cap. So check the rules before constructing one.
- Using this will cause your hunger bar to go down, and you will start to lose health, so keep some food in your inventory and check often to see if you`re hungry or not.
