Acid

Type:Block, Liquid
Mine with:Collect with bucket
Physics:Flows
Found naturally:Yes, Underground, Skyhold
Renewable:No
Identifier:Acid

Acid is a liquid found in caves and in special rooms within the skyhold.

Obtaining

Like all liquids, it can be collected with a bucket.

Natural Generation

Acid generates in caverns and certain rooms in skyholds.

Usage

Acid is similar to lava, causing damage when coming in contact with the player and destroying items, but flows similarly to water and allows the same swimming speed.

Burning Blocks

Unlike lava, downward flowing acid destroys dirt, grass, wood, leaves, sand, and gravel on contact, and does not cause wood-based blocks to catch fire. Acid does not flow through backdrops unless it burns through them.

Light

Like lava, acid gives off light which is brighter than a single torch, but with a smaller radius. A player spotting light in a cave should consider the possibility of the source being a pool of acid and should explore with caution.

Trivia

  • Acid is not a feature of Minecraft
  • Strangely, downward flowing acid will not destroy mycelium, leaf blocks with fruits in them, crafting tables, note blocks, or bookshelves, even though these blocks are related to blocks that are destroyed by acid.
  • Another similarity of acid to lava is that adding water to a flowing block of acid will create cobblestone. This is strange, since in real life, lava is a form of molten rock which solidifies when cooled by water. Adding water to acid only results in diluting the acid.
