Minecraft – Farming in a snow biome

minecraft-java-edition

I'm living in a snow biome right now and I found rather difficult farming there. For example sugar cane needs of a block of water. I tried with this approach:

S W S W S
S W S W S
S W S W S
S W S W S

(S = sugar cane, W = water)

But the water keep freezing Even if I put torches all around it. Is there any compact way to force a water block not to freeze?

Best Answer

Cover the water with wooden slabs. This looks nice, and lets you walk around without stepping on the dirt, e.g. when growing wheat.
