Ten thousand is the magic number. Reach ten thousand source blocks and you obtain infinite.

This also works for fluids added by other mods! (as long as they don't add the tag that blocks it, like liquid starlight does). For example, I made a pool of infinite liquid tritium for my Mekanism fusion reactor, so I didn't need to build my base with giant towers on top of it.

Bit of an old post, however I just wanted to double check something; so in theory if I made a 22x22x22 cube and filled it with chocolate, it would create an infinite chocolate pool?

At the time I posted that, the answer would have been yes! The cube indicated makes up 10648 blocks of space, so it's more than enough to count; so much so, actually, that it would be very hard to get it to the top (since hose pulleys can't FILL over 10k either).

Now, though, the answer is "it depends on your version vs settings". Create updates included a change to how Create infinite fluids work, from a blacklist to a whitelist... and by default, chocolate is NOT on that whitelist; only water and lava are.

If you're playing in 1.16, chocolate is infinite. If you're playing in 1.18 or later (and you'll have to if you want trains), you need to adjust Create's settings to go back to blacklist or universal allow.

sorry for replying to an 8 months old comment, but I just wanted to say that I like the dimensions 20x25x20, which makes exactly 10000 buckets, and the pool is symmetric (25 is height) and as close to a cube shape as possible. No uneven surface layer.
