How I Tried to Extinguish the Eternal Flame in Minecraft

Hello, block enthusiasts! I'm back — your honest and slightly crazy experimenter-provocateur who can't walk past the question “what if”. This time, my mind came up with one of the "hottest" ideas: what happens if you give a skeleton and a zombie the visual effect of burning through a command, but they don't take any damage? And what if you pour water on them, throw snowballs, or leave them in the rain — will they extinguish? Spoiler: the result not only surprised me but also made me laugh out loud!

Setting the Stage: Mobs, Fire, and a Bit of Magic

So, I build a pen and put in a couple of not-so-happy mobs — a skeleton and a zombie. A few moments with the /effect command, and I witness the drama of the century: they look like they're at the premiere of the movie «Eternal Flame» — burning at full intensity, yet their health is perfectly fine! I watch and think: “Wow, what special effects, envy this!” And honestly, the first thought in my head: "What if I try to extinguish them? Maybe, just maybe, one real Minecraft rule will work?"

A Bucket of Water vs. the Effect

I grab a bucket of water. I wave my hand and pour it on the zombie. The water splashes, the mob swims, but the effect is zero. It doesn't extinguish, no matter what. I repeat — same result. My little pen turned into a new pool for monsters, but they keep burning like true superhero firefighters. Emotions? It was something else, a true spectacle of absurdity!

Snowball Fight

Okay, “against heat – cold!” I throw snowballs at the skeleton with the enthusiasm of a first-grader. The poor thing groans, gets knocked back, but the fire — like it's glued on, doesn't weaken at all! Seeing this, it's impossible not to smile: the scene is meme-worthy for Minecraft.

Hope in the Rain

The final touch — I summon rain. The effect is the same: I drench the mobs with natural torrents, but these stubborn ones keep glowing as if nothing's happening. I no longer know who won here — my imagination or the game's rules, but the spectacle was unforgettable!

Author's Verdict and Personal Emotions

Honestly, I would include this experiment in a textbook on “pointless but fun experimentation”. These effects — purely cosmetic, don't provide any survival benefits, but how much emotion and laughter they bring! I think this can only be used for epic jokes and pranks. Trust me, your friends' faces will be priceless when they see “eternally burning” zombies!

Pros and Cons of the Experiment

Pros:

• An unusual way to have fun with effects.
• Perfect for pranks and decorations.
• Generates tons of emotions and discussions!

Cons:

• It's impossible to extinguish the effect with normal methods — buckets and snowballs are wasted!
• Completely useless for real survival.
• Can confuse even experienced players!

Thank you for joining me in this fiery show! If you like this format of experiments — give a like to your pickaxes and write what else to try in the block world. I love surprising you and being surprised myself, because Minecraft can still make you shout: “No way, that can't be true!” See you soon — it's going to be fun!
