Floodgates are objects that regulate the flow of liquids. A wood, stone or metal floodgate will suffice for water flow, but only stone and metal will hold back magma. Floodgates can be linked up to levers or pressure plates to create farms, a water source or as a defense against invaders.

If theres no roof above your floodgate and the the water source if from a higher elevation it will spill over it.
