The Magma Cube is the Nether counterpart to the Overworld's Slime — a fiery cube-shaped mob that hops toward players and splits into smaller cubes when killed. Unlike Slimes, Magma Cubes have glowing orange-yellow bodies with deep red eyes and leave no trail. They drop Magma Cream when defeated, an essential ingredient for brewing Fire Resistance potions and crafting Magma Blocks. Their three-tone fire gradient (orange body, red details, yellow core) makes them visually striking.

How to Make This Pattern — Step by Step

Supplies

•24x24 Fuse Bead Pegboard

•Red × 40
•Yellow × 34

1

3
Iron on medium heat for 30-60 seconds with circular motions.
4
Flip and iron the other side.

Ironing Tips

💡Medium heat only — too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
💡Keep the iron moving in slow circles — staying in one spot melts that area flat.
💡Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.

FAQ

How does the Magma Cube differ from the Slime pattern?▼

The Magma Cube is 12×12 (144 beads) vs the Slime's 10×10 (100 beads), and uses 3 fire colors (orange/red/yellow) vs the Slime's 2 greens. The Magma Cube is slightly harder but much more visually striking. Make both for a complete Overworld + Nether duo.
