The fact that magma cubes can swim better than slimes is just insane

[@Jule-Craft_1495]

That’s why magma cubes are more annoying than slimes and: - They jump much higher - Baby Magna Cubes can also hurt you - Immune to lava - Don’t only appear where the ground is flat But, they are very easy to deal with with a Multishot crossbow.

[@raveVR_official]

Who would have thought

[@ItzSpookyz1]

That’s pretty ironic since they’re called magma cubes but they can swim in water which should damage them

[@Jule-Craft_1495]

@@ItzSpookyz1 I think Magma Cubes are the most annoying mob especially since they lurk around the most in the basalt delta.

The blaze powder for potions reasoning was quite weird. You could find brewing stands in Village Stone Towers anyways but you would still need to go to the nether for Nether Wart no matter where you find it.

[@arrowtongue]

you can still make weakness potions without an awkward potion, and that is one of the most important ones as it allows you to cure villagers, so I understand the reasoning

[@talinpeacy7222]

Feel like the creeper check code could be fixed by just making the creeper ignition send a movement command to nearby mobs to run.

[@DadicekCz]

But the other mobs would have to check whether there is some "movement command" sent to them or not to start running. You basically described the initial problem ;)

[@CHECKERCE]

@@DadicekCz by that logic its like every block has to check if it is currently being broken so the whole game is unplayable because millions of blocks contribute to lag

[@thekingofnothing8895]

​@CHECKERCE blocks aren't mobs so that doesn't make sense.

[@zachariasmanning2071]

Game programmer here! @talinpeacy7222 is absolutely right here. The specific term for it is an event, and java in particular has built-in support for it

[@mat_developer]

checkerce is right, The initial mob running from creeper code checks for an ingition creeper every tick, however, loops are different than events, and events are more optimized than loops, a "movement command" would be an event, not a loop. Everyone knows minecraft isn't good at optimization, cause alot more couldve been optimized about the game, for example, render distance@@thekingofnothing8895

[@elliesmith9755]

I actually discovered a glitch in Bedrock Edition (not sure if it’s still there or if it works on Java though). The glitch was that if you placed two smooth sandstone slabs on top of each other to create a full block, they are slightly darker than a normal smooth sandstone block! I tried to use this to make it look a little more worn down or eroded.

My guess for the netherite ore, is that piglins used up all of the nether's netherite and has now had to deal with the consequences and go to gold and ancient debris is the old, worn-down scraps from their old tools and builds. I guess this could go into some deeper lore; can piglins craft?

I think piglins thought that the gold was more rare because you get smaller quantities of it when mining in the nether and we all know how they like shiny or gold things so they most likely thought it was better. and my theory is supported by it saying that piglins mine all of the ORE of netherite so all thats left is the ancient debris that would give them a netherite ingot while the nether gold ore would only give them a nugget

[@brandonroberts3003]

I always thought they valued gold because it's used to refine netherite, and with all the original ore depleted the only resource they have left is the gold
