}}A '''magma block''' is a [[light]]-emitting naturally-occurring [[block]] found in [[the Nether]] and the [[Overworld]]. It causes continuous damage while being stepped on, considered fire damage, except it does not light mobs on fire.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
Magma blocks can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

=== Natural generation ===
[[File:Underwater magma.png|thumb|right|Natural generation of magma blocks underwater in the Overworld.]]
[[File:Nether Magma Block.png|thumb|right|Natural generation of magma blocks in the Nether.]]
==== Overworld ====
In the Overworld, magma blocks generate at the bottom of water [[aquifer]]s in [[underwater magma]] features, in clusters of 1–8 blocks.

Magma blocks also generate as a part of [[ocean ruins]], [[trial chambers]], as well as [[ruined portal]]s that are not in cold biomes. 

==== The Nether ====
Magma blocks generate in [[the Nether]] in the form of [[Ore (feature)|ore feature]]s. {{IN|java}}, it attempts to generate 4 times per [[chunk]] in sizes of 0–160, from [[altitude]]s Y=27 to Y=36 in all biomes. It can only replace [[netherrack]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, it attempts to generate 8 times per [[chunk]] in sizes of 0–74, from [[altitude]]s Y=27 to Y=36 in all biomes. It can replace [[netherrack]] and [[blackstone]].

Magma blocks generate as part of [[delta]]s in [[basalt deltas]] biomes, replacing some of the lava.

Magma blocks also generate as a part of hoglin stable and treasure room [[bastion remnant]]s, as well as all ruined portals in this dimension.

== Usage ==

=== Damage ===

Magma blocks damage most living entities standing on top of them, even if underwater, dealing {{hp|1}} of fire damage every [[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. Magma blocks do not destroy [[item (entity)|items]]. Damage from magma blocks does not reduce [[durability]] in [[netherite]] armor. Because magma blocks deal fire damage, it can be reduced by [[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 [[shulker]]s 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 it kills.

Blocks that are the [[Solid block#Height|height]] of a [[trapdoor]] or lower (such as [[snow|snow layer]]s, [[carpet]]s, [[repeater]]s, or [[comparator]]s) do not prevent a magma block from damaging mobs and players above it.

There are a few specific [[death messages]] associate 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 [[ice]] or [[snow]].

Magma blocks emit smoke particles under rainfall, much like [[lava]].

Making walls out of magma blocks prevents [[spider]]s from climbing them.{{only|bedrock|short=1}}

Mobs avoid magma blocks that are in the way. Most mobs do not spawn on magma blocks (exceptions are [[magma cube]]s, [[Zombified Piglin|zombified piglin]], [[ghast]]s, and [[squid]]).

When a magma block's top is set on [[fire]], the fire burns indefinitely, similar to netherrack.

=== Bubble columns ===

When a water source is directly above a magma block, a [[Bubble Column#Whirlpool|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 [[Damage#Drowning|breath]] underwater by entering a magma block's bubble column.

=== Note blocks ===
Magma blocks can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.

== Trivia ==

* Geologists only call melted rock ''magma'' when it's very deep underground, beyond accessibility. Any melt closer to the surface is called ''lava''.
* A magma block is used as Steve's Up-Smash attack in the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
* The lava walking is only for sneaking or frost walker boots
