Talk:Soul Soil

Merge
I found the above in a YouTube Vid. , and confirmed it on the Fire page. It also deals 2X the damage of regular fire in survival mode (Edit: oh, right, and it actually Has fire, too, endlessly-Burns even; so it's kind-of a different hazard from the-other brown block Soul Sand Valleys are named-for).

It's a less bright (10 vs. 15) light source. But it repels Piglins (in all 3 of its forms).

The fact that it doesn't slow players would to me start to be enough to say it's different-enough from soul sand (that'd previously existed). Really, the thing they Do share in common is (as I edited it in, I'll just be repeating here), that 4 of either /both (dunno, haven't tested or seen anybody build a Wither yet with any of the New 1.16 blocks) can be used (and in exactly the same pattern, to be clear) to build a Wither (with 3 Wither Skeleton Skulls).

Then again, I'd wanted to split Z Villagers from other Z's. Too. 76.209.248.192 04:44, 28 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Any details about soul fire are not arguments against merging, those are a different block altogether. The only differences are crafting recipes (applies to all merged pages), that soul sand slows players down, and cannot be lit on fire (in java snapshots only, in bedrock it still can); that seems like too little difference to keep them separate.

 * merging as there's definitely still enough difference between the two blocks. You can't plant nether wart on soul soil, nor light soul sand on fire, soul sand has the not a full block thing going on, they have different sounds which would be hell to have on the same page, very distinct histories, note block interactions, and so on, so this is a terrible suggestion... - User-12316399 (talk) 20:07, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Sound and history sections are worthless arguments; those are true for all merged articles, which we have a lot of. FVbico (talk) 21:45, 29 February 2020 (UTC)


 * The two blocks are similar in lots of ways, so it makes sense for them to be merged together. -98.230.115.82 23:54, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
