'''Potent sulfur''' is a  [[Minecraft:block]] made from [[Minecraft:sulfur]] that produces [[Minecraft:Nausea|noxious]] gas if placed beneath shallow [[Minecraft:water]]. Placing a [[Minecraft:magma block]] below it in shallow water turns it into a [[#Geysers|geyser]] that occasionally erupts and launches [[Minecraft:Entity|entities]] upward. Placing [[Minecraft:lava]] instead causes a constant, non-stop eruption.

Template:In development Template:Infobox block Potent sulfur is a Minecraft:block made from Minecraft:sulfur that produces noxious gas if placed beneath shallow Minecraft:water. Placing a Minecraft:magma block below it in shallow water turns it into a geyser that occasionally erupts and launches entities upward. Placing Minecraft:lava below it causes a constant, non-stop eruption instead.

Obtaining

Breaking

Potent sulfur drops as an item if mined by any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Potent sulfur generates naturally in the Minecraft:sulfur caves biome in Minecraft:sulfur pools and on the surface in Minecraft:sulfur springs.

Crafting

Template:Crafting

Usage

Noxious gas

File:Sulfur radius.png
A visual of potent sulfur's gas spread

When placed under a water source, potent sulfur emits a column of decorative white bubbles, ending in noxious gas on the water's surface (indicated by yellow gas Minecraft:particles) if certain criteria is met. For noxious gas to be formed, all the water blocks above potent sulfur must be source blocks, potent sulfur must be placed no more than 4 blocks below the water's surface, and the block immediately above the surface must be Minecraft:air. Noxious gas is emitted on all water source blocks with air above in a 3 block radius centered on the surface water block directly above potent sulfur.

Minecraft:Players and Minecraft:mobs in this water are inflicted with 4 seconds of Minecraft:Nausea as an ambient effect, which is renewed as long as the entity is inside the water.

Geysers

Template:Redirect When placed above Minecraft:lava or a Minecraft:magma block and below a water source with a height of 1 to 4 blocks, potent sulfur will erupt into a geyser, either continuously or periodically depending on which block is underneath. When a potent sulfur block is erupting, particles forming a geyser appear at the surface of the water and push any entities within it (including underwater) upwards.

The height of the geyser depends on the height of the water column: <math>5 \times height</math> (in blocks).

Continuous geysers

When placed above a lava source, potent sulfur will continuously erupt.

Periodic geysers

<section begin="periodic_geyser"/>

File:Sulfur spring bursting.gif
A sulfur spring bursting

When placed above a Minecraft:magma block, potent sulfur may occasionally erupt. A full cycle occurs every 300 to 1200 Minecraft:game ticks (15 to 60 seconds), while the eruption phase lasts between 20 and 100 game ticks (1 to 5 seconds).

When a block of potent sulfur is placed, two random values are assigned to it based on the position of the block in the world: a dormant value (between 15 and 30) and an eruption value (between 1 and 2). The intervals between the dormant state and the eruption state depend on the height of the water column above the potent sulfur and these two values:

  • dormant phase duration (in seconds): <math>10 \times (height - 1) + dormant\_value</math>;
  • eruption phase duration (in seconds): <math>(height - 1) + eruption\_value</math>.

Geysers generate naturally on the surface as part of Minecraft:sulfur springs due to them featuring magma blocks. The Minecraft:sulfur pools within Minecraft:sulfur caves do not feature magma blocks underneath their potent sulfur, and thus geysers cannot be found naturally in sulfur caves. <section end="periodic_geyser" />

Piston interactivity

Potent sulfur is a block entity and cannot be pushed by Minecraft:pistons. It also cannot be pushed nor pulled by Minecraft:sticky pistons.
