Magma Cubes can swim now.

Magma cubes swim and float in water just like slimes and other mobs do. I checked the wiki and this was not always the case. Is this an intended change? Also shouldn't they take damage in water like blazes?

Isn't this supposed to be intended?

Not according to the Wiki.

"Magma cubes cannot burn and are not slowed down or damaged by lava. Instead, it seems that they can swim upward extremely quickly in lava. They cannot be hurt from fall damage, cannot swim, and will drown in normal water."

It's possible that they forgot to change that line after 1.8 was released.

Could be. I've never tried to get magma cubes to swim before now. XD

This has been the case since 1.8.
