Minecraft:Magma Block
More actions
Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block A magma block is a light-emitting Minecraft:block found underwater in the Minecraft:Overworld, and more abundantly in Minecraft:the Nether. It deals burning damage while stood on, which can be prevented by {{#vardefine: control | shift on keyboard or right button on the right side of gamepad }}sneaking. Underwater magma blocks produce bubble columns that pull entities downward and provide air.
Obtaining
Breaking
Magma blocks can be mined using any Minecraft:pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing. Script error: No such module "breaking row".
Natural generation
Overworld
In the Overworld, magma blocks generate at the bottom of water aquifers in underwater magma and sulfur springs features, in clusters of 1–8 blocks.
Magma blocks also generate as a part of ocean ruins, ruined portals that are not in cold biomes, and the eruption room found in trial chambers.
The Nether
Magma blocks generate in Minecraft:the Nether in the form of ore features. in Template:Editions, it attempts to generate 4 times per chunk in sizes of 0–160, from altitudes Y=27 to Y=36 in all biomes. It can only replace Minecraft:netherrack. in Template:Editions, it attempts to generate 9 times per chunk in sizes of 0–106, from altitudes Y=23 to Y=36 in all biomes. It can replace Minecraft:netherrack and Minecraft:blackstone.
Magma blocks generate as part of deltas in basalt deltas biomes, replacing some of the lava.
Magma blocks also generate as a part of hoglin stable and treasure room bastion remnants, as well as all ruined portals in this dimension.

Crafting
Usage
Damage
Magma blocks damage most living entities standing on top of them, even if underwater, dealing Template:Hp of fire damage every Minecraft:tick, which in practice is reduced to once every half-second with damage immunity. Walking into the side of a magma block doesn't cause damage. Damage from magma blocks does not reduce durability in netherite armor. Because magma blocks deal fire damage, it can be reduced by Minecraft:armor, the Resistance effect, and Protection/Fire Protection enchantments, and can be completely negated by the Fire Resistance effect. Unlike other sources of fire damage, sneaking and the Frost Walker enchantment can also grant immunity to damage from magma blocks.
Any mobs immune to fire damage cannot take damage from magma blocks. However, a few mobs like shulkers cannot take magma block damage despite not having natural immunity to fire.
Magma blocks do not set mobs or players on fire and thus do not cook the animals that they kill, nor do they destroy items.
Blocks that are the height of a Minecraft:trapdoor or lower (such as snow layers, Minecraft:carpets, repeaters, or comparators) do not prevent a magma block from damaging mobs and players above it.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> However, a sunken Minecraft:boat on top of the magma block prevents damage.
There are a few specific death messages associated with magma blocks. If a player or named pet is killed simply from standing on the block, the death message displayed in the chat is: "[player] discovered the floor was lava". If a player or named pet was attacked and knocked back to their death onto magma blocks, the message is: "[player] walked into danger zone due to [player/mob]".
Behavior
Magma blocks emit a light level of 3. They do not melt Minecraft:ice or Minecraft:snow.
Magma blocks emit smoke particles under rainfall, much like Minecraft:lava.
Making walls out of magma blocks prevents spiders from climbing them.Template:Only
Mobs try to avoid walking over magma blocks but still walk over them if no other path is found. Most mobs do not spawn on magma blocks (exceptions are magma cubes, zombified piglins, ghasts, and squid).
When a magma block's top is set on Minecraft:fire, the fire burns indefinitely, similar to Minecraft:netherrack.
Bubble columns
When a water source is directly above a magma block, a whirlpool bubble column is created, going down from the highest source block. Anything encountering the bubble column is pulled down, including items, boats, players, and mobs.
A player can restore breath underwater by entering a magma block's bubble column.
Note blocks
Magma blocks can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.
Sulfur cube
Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb magma blocks, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
