Fire Block

A **Fire Block** is a light-emitting naturally-occurring block found rarely in the Nether and most commonly in the Overworld. It causes continuous damage while being stepped on, considered fire damage, and it sets mobs on fire (But will not ignite if Entity is underwater)

## Obtaining

### Breaking

The Fire block can be broken with any Pickaxe, Shovel or Sword, it can also be broken with a Flint and Steel, which turns the Flint and Steel into a permanently burning Flint and Steel for a short period of time.

### Natural Generation

#### Overworld

Just like Magma Blocks, the Fire block can, somehow, generate in flooded ravines and can also generate in aquifers, they mostly generate in clusters of only 1, but can generate in pockets to up to 5, Fire blocks can also generate in Caves flooded with Lava.

#### Nether

Fire Blocks can be very rarely found in the Nether, they mostly generate under Lava Seas, which is what makes them very difficult to spot, but they may also, in rare occasions, generate on the surface in clusters of 1-5 blocks and can also generate by themselves inside of the terrain, just like small lava pockets.

They can generate in certain nether fortress rooms and in some crimson dungeons rooms as light sources

### Crafting

The Fire Block can be created by right-clicking a magma block, a "scraping" sound plays and you're given 4-10 Fiery Scales

 Any Pickaxe

## Usage

### Crafting Ingredient

 Firework Star x1

### Damage

Fire blocks damage most living entities standing on top of them, even if underwater, dealing 1 of fire damage every tick, which in practice is reduced to once every half-second with damage immunity. Items can be destroyed if dropped on top of the block, but will not be destroyed if Underwater, Netherite does not suffer damage from Fire Blocks, it can be reduced by armor, Ice or Fire-Resisting related items will prevent damage or will lower the effect of these blocks, such as Items with the Ice-Touched enchantment.

Any mobs immune to fire damage cannot take damage from Fire blocks. However, a few mobs like shulkers cannot take Fire block damage despite not having natural immunity to fire.

Fire blocks do not set mobs or players on fire underwater, but will if it's not surrounded by water, this is probably due to Fire igniting randomly if Fire Blocks come in contact with Air

There are a few specific death messages associate with Fire blocks. If a player or named pet is killed simply from standing on the block, the death message displayed in the chat is: *"[player] figured out that fire does not behave logically in this universe."*. If a player or named pet was attacked and knocked back to their death onto magma blocks, the message is: *"[player/mob] made [player] learn that logic failed in the minecraft universe"*.

### Behavior

Fire blocks emit a light level of 10. and they melt any ice/snow related blocks, but will not remove the effects of Ice-related Items/Enchatments.

Making walls out of magma blocks prevents any wall-crawling mob from crawling up walls.

Mobs avoid magma blocks that are in the way. Most mobs do not spawn on magma blocks (exceptions are fire-resisting nether related mobs or just fiery mobs... and squids).

One special thing about the block, is that if it comes in contact with air, or the water above it is removed, it will eventually naturally create its own fire on top of the block, the Block burns indefinitely

### Bubble columns

When a water source is directly above a fire block, a 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, which is the same behavior as Magma Blocks

A player can restore breath underwater by entering any fire block's bubble column, due to having the same mechanic as Magma Blocks.

### Light source

Fire Blocks emit a light level of 10, which makes it good for whenever you want a somewhat dim lighting source.
