I noticed that the player takes eccessive amount of damage from just being in proximity to magma cubes I noticed it with the small ones since they can easily swarm you. Are they not supposed to only dmg the player when they "attack"/jump? Just being withing range of them now causes massive screenshakes and knockback effects due to being close to them. Several hits a second depending on how many there are.
I tested it in Easy aswell (first in hard) and it seemed to affect me there aswell. Since we on BR edition does not have the wide swing of the sword this situation is very (VERY) scary and dangerous because it feels as if you lose control of your character.

I haven't noticed the proximity damage issue, I'll watch for that today, but I can attest the amount of damage done is excessive. I thought it was because they buffed them and we're in hard mode but if you're having the same issues in easy maybe it is a bug.
