Sulfur Block Eater

Quickstart

1. Open the Spawn Eggs tab in Creative mode and select the Sulfur Block Eater spawn egg.
2. Use the egg on the ground to spawn the sulfur slime.
3. Drop block items—such as cobblestone, dirt, or planks—near it.
4. Watch the Sulfur Block Eater move toward the nearest dropped block and consume the stack one item at a time.

You can also summon it with:

/summon sulfur-block-eater-i27v2rpp:sulfur_block_eater_i27v2rpp

To obtain the spawn egg with a command:

/give @s sulfur-block-eater-i27v2rpp:sulfur_block_eater_i27v2rpp_spawn_egg

Overview

Sulfur Block Eater adds a large sulfur-colored slime that searches for dropped block items and devours them. It is useful for creating cleanup creatures, testing item drops, or building contraptions and arenas centered around disappearing blocks.

The mob is about two blocks wide and tall. It can spawn naturally under slime-style ground spawning rules, or it can be placed wherever you want with its spawn egg.

What It Adds

How To Use

Feeding it blocks

Drop block items on the ground near the Sulfur Block Eater. It detects dropped items within roughly 12 blocks and chooses the closest eligible item.

When the target is more than about 1.5 blocks away, it moves toward it. Once close enough, it consumes one item from the dropped stack.

Eligible items include block items such as:

• Stone and cobblestone
• Dirt and sand
• Logs and planks
• Ores and other placeable blocks

It does not consume ordinary dropped items that are not block items, such as tools, food, or ingots.

Controlling the pace

The Sulfur Block Eater waits briefly after eating before consuming another item. A large stack therefore disappears gradually rather than all at once.

To make it eat faster overall, place several block-item drops around it so it can move from one nearby target to the next. To keep a block item safe, place it outside the mob’s search range or use a non-block item instead.

Crafting And Obtaining

The spawn egg is available in the Spawn Eggs Creative inventory. The mod does not provide a crafting recipe for the Sulfur Block Eater or its spawn egg.

The mob may also appear naturally through slime-style ground spawning rules.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Searches for dropped block items on the server side.
• Selects the nearest eligible dropped block.
• Travels toward targets that are more than about 1.5 blocks away.
• Consumes one item per eating action.
• Removes the dropped item entity when its stack becomes empty.
• Waits 10 game ticks between eating actions.
• Ignores dropped items that are not placeable blocks.
• Uses a slime-based appearance and movement family.

Progression And Strategy

The Sulfur Block Eater has no crafting or upgrade progression. Its gameplay is based on positioning and managing dropped blocks.

For simple experiments, spawn one in an open area and throw different items nearby to see which ones it recognizes. For a cleanup setup, place the mob near a controlled drop point and feed it unwanted block items. Keep valuable blocks away from the area, since the creature automatically prioritizes the closest eligible drop.
