Picking your spot and starting.
Pick the spot your want your pond, I suggest the most level area you can.

Then place down 6 cubes in the middle of where you want your pond. I use sand so its easy so see.

Shaping out the ground.
Now put your mouse cursor as close the the middle of your 6 blocks and holding shift right click till your blocks shrink away and are gone.

It should look close to this when your done.

Now keep using shift right click and smooth out plus bowl shape your area. It should looks a little like this.

Digging it out.
Now your rdy to start removing the inside to shape and size your pond. Start with your middle 6 again.

Then start digging side ways on the same lvl and you will start to form your rounded edges for the pond.

Once you have your shape on top you can jump inside (if your not already) and start the depth. Make sure you are at least 3 cubes deep.

Once your done with that is should look about like this. Remember to go an extra cube deep on the sides too. Its so the glowmoss will fit in.

Filling it in!
Now you can fill in your floor and walls with glowmoss, and what ever plant life you want in your water.

Now you just do your top cover of glass blocks and your done!

I suggest putting plants and flowers around your pond to give it a more natural look also.
Congrats on making your first pond, Don't worry they get easier every time you make another.
Also you can Skip the 6 Blocks and move right to bowl shaping, I just thought it would be easier for first timers, or to explain. Also plan to see an edit or update on here soon for waterfalls.

Yup...infinity pools are just stepping stones to beaches! :)

Thanks for the detailed instructions. This helped for my beach bungalow. And LoneGunman, I know, I was thinking about an infintity pond as well...might have to work on my little beach bungalow area a bit more as I get time.

Nicely done. I've got to try this now except I want to try to make a sort of infinity pool at the edge of an island. :)
