What Is The Magma Cube In Minecraft?

Convergant evolution i would say, that and a symbiotic relationship with the blazes as they often are found near each other are the reasons for the similarity maybe

Theory : Slimes had a fun time with blazes, which made magma cubes

Mojang has to hire this guy

This is how I think he’s still in game: he was once to be a pillager boss when there in no evoker as the boss he spawns in but soon became a command chat boss and has no lore so we can make up our own lore for him

I'd say it's likely they weren't slimes previously, just that they were a cousin species per say, similar to skeletons and wither skeletons, and the slime + blaze powder is probably just a very similar but not identical fiery sticky substance like slime

What if blazes were made as robots like the iron golem. Made to protect the nether fortresses. And when the builders died out the blazes got used to the fire and lava. And fused into them. Slimes were probably exposed to similar things in the nether

Theory: they put their "rods" inside of them.

Probably blazes are smart creatures and some of them wanted to make experiments on slimes

Well maybe blaze is made out of some material in the enther that could resist to fire and the slime used these to resist to the heat or maybe its just an adaption

when slimes got to thw nether they found blazes and taking them as menaces they attecked them. with the blaze powder left in the zone they started mutating because of fire and fiery dust

The blazes sticked their rods in the slimes.

If the slimes were trapped in the nether than over millions of years they probably evolved to fit the climate and since them and the blaze evolved in the same spot they probably evolved similarly which is why the both have blaze powder

we can see a yellow rod inside magma cubes when they jump, the blazes could've thrown the rods from above which landed right in slimes which could have changed it.

y'know how there is multiple types of dogs, spiders, ants, etc. maybe it's just a different type of slime that evolved and adapted into the nether for the blaze powder, it's just logic. combining a literal fire elementals blazing rods with slime is likely to make magma cream, it just makes sense

Slime balls..... Dirty mind activated 💀

The real reason might be a lot wierder but blaze simply breeded with a slime 😅

the slimes go to never and they get raised by the blaises which then the nether turns them into magma cubes

This is what I think The blaze shot a fire ball and the slime absorbed the fire ball and turned into a magma cube

What if the slides were brought into the nether by the ancient builders as an experiment and they used the blazes to experiment with them, turning the slimes into magma cubes with the same heat intensity as a blaze, the same bounce and splitting ability as a slime, and the combined substance making up this new slime hybrid known as magma cream. Also, the magma cubes are now a completely different color due to being scorched and turned into a blazing mob of the nether, and it's remains being that of what the slime used to be, and of what the slime was crossed with to be turned into what it is now. Love your lore theories!❤

Theory: as a slime it has an innate ability to absorb things ..after absorbing blaze rod or the blaze itself it evolve to magma cubes...
