Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Shi Qian's true form is now on an unusual ice surface.

The ice he had walked on before was relatively flat, but the ice in front of him was sloping directly downwards.

Moreover, the ice in this area is all like this; looking up, you can see sloping ice parallel to it.

It's not that the angle of the ice cubes has changed, it's just that this looks nothing like what we usually see.

It's like a specially paved road that forces you to go deeper into the depths.

Shi Qian felt something was strange, but the boiling spring was located here.

And it is very likely that these ice layers led down to this place.

“We can only take it one step at a time…”

The top of the ice layer here is almost completely covered by dark blue algae, and only the ice layer above can be vaguely seen.

The same condition was observed below; the entire ice layer was covered by a faint blue light, but it was not dark.

There's nothing else to be seen here, not even the Xue Shiqian that used to be so common.

It seemed to consist of nothing but ice and clusters of dark blue algae.

If it weren't for the fact that his coordinates were constantly increasing, Shi Qian would have thought he was standing still.

Looking back now, only a tiny glimmer of light can be faintly seen at the edge of the ice.

And it's very far away from him.

Exhaling, Shi Qian was surprised to find that there was actually a water mist effect here.

I'm becoming increasingly curious about the world beneath the ice.

After a period of trekking, Shi Qian arrived at the bottom of the ice layer.

He felt that the description of the pool in front of him was quite apt.

Because this is a huge hollow space, the ice below encapsulates all the water far away.

The area of ​​this body of water is actually not small.

However, in the very center of the pool, there is a structure that looks like a volcano.

The center of the boiling spring, which is entirely red and black, is constantly emitting hot steam, and the bubbles are very conspicuous on the surface of the water.

Bubbles rose and then burst open on the surface of the water with a bang.

The underwater area around the spring is covered with golden-brown squares that don't look like normal squares.

Moreover, it seemed to have some fluidity, swaying slowly with the ripples.

The outermost edge of the pool is surrounded by many creatures that do not attack each other; instead, they avoid each other when they bump into one another.

Perhaps because the water in the center is too hot, some creatures will stick to the ice to cool themselves down.

The creatures in the water are not found in the original Minecraft; they seem to be from some strange mod.

He could immediately recognize three kinds of creatures: a huge crab, an octopus with long tentacles, and one that looked like a shark.

However, he could only tell that the last one was a fish, but he really couldn't identify what kind of fish it was.

The creatures are all cube-shaped, so they're not as scary as real marine life.

Ugly, cute, ugly.

However, some dolphins say that these creatures are extremely aggressive.

Moreover, there seemed to be quite a few creatures inside, and Shi Qian was still quite far from the water's surface, so the radar could only detect a portion of his own side.

Even in this small area, the density of organisms still startled Shi Qian.

He knew about the amazing biological characteristics of Minecraft, that it could survive without eating anything under suitable conditions.

But this is too much...

Shi Qian strongly suspects that before the dimensional ice capped, these types of marine life gathered all their populations around the various boiling springs.

Moreover, due to the temperature of the spring, there are no signs of freezing here.

This is truly a biological comfort zone...

After thinking about it, I realized that I seem to have immunity to any form of fire injury.

It should be able to withstand the temperature at the center of the spring.

Shi Qian found a good angle and dashed across the ice, using the slow descent to adjust his position in the air.

Several creatures noticed Shi Qian and swam over to him.

However, because the water temperature was higher closer to the center, they could only linger on the periphery and dared not approach at all.

Shi Qian landed precisely in the center of the spring.

As soon as he entered the water, he felt that the temperature was really high.

However, he was not burned and felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

After expressing his appreciation for having skills, Shi Qian got down to business.

The surrounding spring vents are made of a relatively hard material, but they are not magma blocks.

It looks more like a realistic lava burst, much like the lava monster skin in the game "Minecraft: Legends".

【Condensed Lava】

?

"Who's bad at naming things? If you can't even write, you might as well just go and replace your old name with tuff!"

But you know what, if you change the color, it really does look like tuff.

However, this solidified lava doesn't feel like a complete block to the touch; the red lava inside is recessed, which makes it look more realistic.

Shi Qian planned to go and see what that hydrothermal deposit was all about.

I swam out of the spring and stepped directly onto the ground.

In an instant, it felt like sinking into an extremely thick and soft quagmire.

"How could something so disgusting appear in Minecraft..."

Shi Qian struggled to pull his legs and feet out of the hole, and couldn't help but complain.

However, the hydrothermal deposits did not change their shape in the slightest because of his actions.

It looks like a liquid block, not a solid block.

It should have a built-in slowing effect, similar to how a spider web can trap creatures.

Shi Qian swam to the very edge of the hydrothermal vent layer, which was still quite a distance from the habitable area of ​​those creatures.

I tested it out, and even at the very edge, this hydrothermal vent layer was extremely sticky.

However, since it's a liquid block...

So it should be able to be collected by the bucket, right...?

Thinking of this, Shi Qian took a bucket out of his backpack.

There was still lava in the bucket from before, which Shi Qian poured directly to the side.

But just as he scooped up a bucket of hydrothermal ore, he discovered a strange block where he had just placed the lava.

It would turn into obsidian one moment, then melt into lava the next, then become a block he'd never seen before, before melting back into lava and turning back into obsidian.

"Huh? Dude, did you run into some bug again?"

Shi Qian's CPU was completely burned out; he never expected that the lava he casually poured out would reveal such a characteristic to him.

It's estimated that magma and hydrothermal deposits can solidify into a block, but due to environmental factors, it reverts back to magma, and then turns into obsidian upon contact with water...

Over and over again.

After Shi Qian turned into an unfamiliar cube, he reached out and touched it.

[Copper-sulfur cobalt ore alloy]

?

"Is this still Minecraft? What did they give me?"

An alloy of three minerals...

He now understood why those humans were interested in hydrothermal deposits...

So it can create super powerful equipment. Who wouldn't be interested in improving their own equipment?

No wonder they felt obligated to clean up the boiling spring.

If they don't clean it up, it will be troublesome for them to collect minerals themselves, and maybe the solidified lava is also a good material.

It would be strange if they didn't come here to collect resources that are useful to them!
