Fun fact most people actually forget, charcoal had a use on console edition since charcoal torches were a separate item from standard torches and gave off 1 extra light level

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]

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

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?

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

I just found out that since item frames are entities in spectator I can spectate them as if with any other mob. Its a cool little thing.

[@qazxsw21000]

I learned that item frames (and paintings too) are entities when I tried to use console commands to remove a crap ton of mobs from around a boat I was decorating. I had to replace about 20 of each…twice…

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
