Talk:Damage

I did some testing and I'm pretty sure the Damage Immunity is around 468 Milliseconds long. Anybody care to validate this?

Fall damage
2 blocks of water seems to still negate fall damage completely. I just tested a 250 block drop and was perfectly fine. --101.166.176.242 06:44, 18 April 2013 (UTC)Anon

Lightning damage
Indeed, lightning hurts way more than I expected, and probably is affected by difficulty. I just took at least 4-5 hearts when lighting struck nearby during a door-fight. (I thought I'd been brushed by a creeper, but there was no crater.) Can anyone get official values? --Mental Mouse 19:41, 14 July 2013 (UTC)


 * This is the relevant bit of code from Entity.java:

public void onStruckByLightning(EntityLightningBolt par1EntityLightningBolt) {    this.dealFireDamage(5); ...
 * I haven't tested in-game yet, though, since it's not easy to get struck by lightning intentionally. -- Orthotope talk 00:28, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

poison
in the damage page it does not add rotten flesh as a source of poison. --72.20.70.250 15:02, 4 January 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a source of hunger, not poison. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 15:31, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Golden Sword Damage
http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Sword says gold sword does the same as wooden while this page says it is stronger than stone. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by DSdavidDS (talk • contribs)&#32;03:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * No, they both say Gold sword is the same attack strength as wood. --KnightMiner (talk 03:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Oops, my mistake.

Is the skeleton damage outdated?
I just tested the zombie damage and I am not seeing 6 points of damage on Hard. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khSuQqxbqQg I tested again after recording this with my food level low (to disable regen), and they still only did this much damage.

Conflicting numbers on critical hits
In several places it says that a critical hit "deals a random amount of additional damage, up to 50% more (rounded down) plus one heart." Then it says the maximum damage from a critical hit with a diamond sword is 17. Diamonds have a base damage of 8. 8 * 1.5 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14. 14 is not 17. Where did 17 come from?

 * I'm wondering the same thing. Where are those critical hit numbers come from? In the case of a wooden sword that does 5 damage, 5 + 50%(2.5) + 1 = 8.5 damage. Yet this page states the damage is 11? What am I missing? 0 Zippy (talk) 08:37, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Should fire damage be included?
Should fire damage be included on natural damage? – Dentedharp90041 tc 12:36, 16 July 2017 (UTC)


 * You mean as a new section? Sounds reasonable. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 16:09, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Maximum finite fall damage
I just wanted to document here what I just figured out: In 19w14b you can fall 4508.00439453125 blocks in Survival without dying if you use a strong potion of turtles, an enchanted golden apple, a jump boost 2 beacon or potion, protection 4 everywhere on a full diamond armour, feather falling 4, a shield and haybales. A 4508.0048828125 block fall kills you under those conditions. Of course you can reduce your fall damage to 0 with various methods, but that's the highest finite height that you can survive.

Netherite.
Missing all of the netherite damage values and related. Does somebody have time to fix this? 104.247.236.253 18:56, 8 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Added netherite to the tables. – Sonicwave talk  20:00, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Freezing
Freezing is a way of natural damage in Snapshot 20w46a in Powder Snow. Shouldn't this be added? --Universespy (talk) 11:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't be a controversial change, go ahead and add it, I doubt there will be any valid arguments against adding freezing. Blockofnetherite Talk Contributions 16:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Grass Path / Sand Suffocation
What does this page mean by the fact that suffocation damage is taken when "Standing on a grass path, under which is sand"? I tested standing on a grass path on top of a sand block in the latest version and took no suffocation damage, but I may be misinterpreting the phrasing. 75.89.132.135 23:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Height limit
What is the height limit to death of every other mob in Minecraft?
