Magma Cubes are hostile mobs that spawn naturally in the nether in lava oceans.
Appearance
Magma Cubes are like Slimes, but they have a red-brown skin and red-yellow-orange eyes.
Attack
Magma Cubes attack the player by jumping at him/her. When killed they split into smaller cubes like slimes and when killed again they split into even smaller cubes. Smallest cubes, unlike slimes can harm the player making magma cubes dangerous to fight.
Combat
Magma Cubes have immune to burning like all nether mobs. An iron sword and above is recommended for big cubes, while the smallest cubes can be easily killed by hand. A bow would work on Magma Cubes too.
