Talk:Magma Block

Magma block light
I've tested this with multiple vanilla worlds. Magma blocks only emit a small amount of light when exposed to sky light. I've attached screenshots - one shows my arrangement of magma blocks during the day, one at night, and the last at night after adding a torch to one of the magma blocks and removing it. The only one lit up is the torch block. Diacherus (talk) 16:23, 12 June 2016 (UTC)Diacherus I have also determined that mobs will spawn under the "sky lit" magma blocks.

Image
Can we get an animated image for this block? —Fenhl 07:22, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Comparative
Hi, maybe I'm not seeing it, but in what sense would you say the sprint-jumping trivia was comparative? – Sealbudsman talk/contr 20:52, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It was comparing the distance of blocks you can run on magma before dying across all levels of difficulty. -BDJP (t 21:18, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Spawn?
Do mobs spawn on magma cubes, since the light is only 3 ? 24.225.239.144 20:37, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe not; check out : "Hostile mobs can spawn on magma block". That was apparently fixed in a pre-release.  So if they are spawning, it'd be a bug; they shouldn't be. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 20:46, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Generate, Everywhere, around Lava Ocean level? or just by the "body of Lava," it /themselves??
I found a series of Veins of Magma Blocks which brought me to 9 Stacks (with only half of it Mined) of Magma Blocks within a short time, all in a Nether, Cave. Sure, Lava -came-in, twice, among roughly a dozen -and-a-half deposits, and since I had spare Buckets, filled more than 1 to make many Buckets of Lava, from both (so not just single, Lava, Source Blocks).

But otherwise, might it be that it's Not always next-to, such Lava? Sure, I'll go-Mine the rest, but I wonder about what the main page says about it Generating, only there, testing.. Yilante 108.215.209.201 22:06, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
