Magma Cube

Magma Cubes (AKA Nether Slimes/Lava Slimes) are hostile mobs that were added in Update 0.11.0, but can only be spawned through a Magma Cube Spawn Egg, however will spawn in the Nether in Update 0.12.1.

Appearance
Magma Cubes somewhat resemble slimes, but are reddish-brown in color and unlike slimes, the smallest size can also attack the player.

Combat
Magma Cubes are immune to Fire damage, and they also have a natural armor rating. Also, unlike Slimes, the smallest Magma Cubes can also harm the player, making them very dangerous to fight.

They can be defeated easily using a high tier sword like Iron or Diamond in about 4-5 hits.
