Similarity?

 * Is it just me or is this basically a nether slime? -fireglo450
 * Basically, yes (at least in terms of usefulness). However, the .png file is quite different from that of the slimes, and is called "lava." So I am NOT in favor of calling them "Nether slimes." That just sounds silly. -cal-erstein
 * Unfortunately it's a slime's reskin. Mojang workers are just twirling on their seats instead of doing their jobs and adding a very new separate mobs, :( Xeoxer 20:12, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Not really. The animation is quite different to the slime's. They split when they jump. – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 02:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Why call them Nether Slimes? We could call them Lava Coils (for their spring-like jumping poses) or Magma Slimes ( so everyone can be happy) or Evily Cute But Doesn't Anhilate Anything If They Are Small And Wow This Is The Worst Acronym Ever (E.C.B.D.A.A.I.T.A.S.A.W.T.I.T.W.A.E Slimes) BlockBarracade 04:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

drops
dont they drop nothing as of now... -Wally

If you follow the "Magma Ball" link it tells you that it is NOT an item, and I would assume not a drop. Provided this is true, I move that the drop be changed to unknown, none, or some such. Cultist O 04:37, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The "magma ball" is the new fireball texture --HexZyle 14:07, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

I think they should drop Magma Sacs. They could be used for Crafting Magma Gels. They burn any mob that walk across it.BlockBarracade 04:21, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Name?
According to the infobox, these are called "Lava Slimes" internally by Minecraft. Where does the "Magma Cube" name come from? 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Spawn Conditions
Do we know for sure under which conditions they spawn (other than in the nether)? I've heard rumors that they spawn more frequently (exclusively?) in nether ruins, confirm/deny and if so what causes this? also is there a light level restriction? Cultist O 20:01, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I have seen absolutely no indication that the presence of Nether Ruins affects their spawning. They are fairly uncommon, which may be the reason why the rumor started.  As for the light level restriction, I would hazard a guess that it is the same as Blazes, but I am not a code guy, so I don't know for sure.  Verhalthur (talk)(contribs) 20:10, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
