Magma boats
« on: June 04, 2023, 03:52:15 pm »

Once boats are being worked on it would be good to keep in mind the ability to use them on magma seas. I'm not sure how buoyancy and density work with water/lava now, but that's not really important for this suggestion. It would just be good if someone made a boat of something like Nether-cap, adamantine, or petrified wood, (*which is less dense than magma according to wikipedia) players should be able to explore the magma seas to find new ways to kill themselves. A bonus of using nethercap is it would stay cool on the inside too, until a magma crab capsized you.

*densities:
Basaltic magma    2650–2800 (kg/m3)
Andesitic magma   2450–2500 (kg/m3)
Rhyolitic magma    2180–2250  (kg/m3)

DF magma is 2170 kg/m3 based on comparison to water in filled minecarts.
