It still amuses me how they once banned fireflies because in real life they are toxic to frogs. But now, not only do they put in pools with sulfuric acid, but now they put in geysers and sell it as if it were safe to be near one.

    I keep seeing people say this, but I never see a source attached and I’ve been utterly unable to find one myself. I’m pretty sure someone just made it up at some point and everyone else ran with it.

    Difference is how easy it is to do either of those. Fireflies and frogs? Decently common across most of the US, easy enough to catch a frog and try to feed it fireflies. Geysers? Rare and heavily controlled, often monitored by the federal government in the few places they exist such as Yellowstone. Pure sulfur is possible to get I guess, but that requires a budget and some paperwork, neither of which children are really likely to get.

    I’m The Batter. I like this new direction, I think sharks and such are possible additions now honestly

    “guys, we are sorry to say this but we are going to remove players from Minecraft, due to the fact that players can harm frogs. We have removed Minecraft from all stores and banned everybody.”

    I get your point OP, but is it realistically possible for a kid to find some sulfer and/or sulfuric acid, much less a whole geyser? I’m sure someone’s gonna prove me wrong; My point is, I think it’s far enough out of the realm of feasability for it to be ok

    My man, fireflies got removed because Mojang couldn’t handle them as mobs

    The “fireflies are poisonous to frogs” excuse makes no sense, if that was the reason the solution is simple

    canEatFirefly = false

    Wasn’t the firefly thing because, after they realized that frogs shouldn’t eat them, they no longer had a gameplay purpose besides being a burden on pathfinding an such?

    I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. Sulfur hot springs ARE NOT MADE OF SULPHURIC ACID. Do any research and you’ll find that they mainly have Hydrogen Sulfide, Magnesium, and  Sodium. You are right about the second part though, there have
    been cases of people being severely burned by geysers.

    Are we still continuing the same “fireflies are toxic to frogs” argument even after 4 years passed and fireflies actually being added as bushes?
