Soft Quicksand

Soft Quicksand is a quicksand type introduced in the MFQM v1.0.5.

Description
Soft quicksand is a naturally occuring quicksand type that can generates in jungles and (rarely) forests. It is light brown in color, making it easy to differentiate from regular quicksand.

Forest Biome
Soft Quicksand rarely spawns in Forest Biomes in small pits often near trees.

Jungle Biome
Soft Quicksand can spawn in Jungle Biomes in much bigger pits contained in cobblestone and mossy cobblestone ruins.

Obtaining
If one digs up Soft Quicksand normally, it will only drop a block of sand. Though if the player has a tool that has the Silk touch enchantment, they can obtain the block itself.

Crafting
Being one of the craftable quicksand types, one can craft Soft Quicksand with 2 Gravel, 2 Dirt and 5 Buckets of Water.

Effects
As Soft Quicksand is composed of a thick semi-wet mix of sand and dirt, anything that walks over it will immediately start to sink into the dough like substance. The player moves more slower in Soft Quicksand when compared to other quicksand is due to the higher visocity and can move until they sink waist deep and become stuck due to the strong suction. One thing to note is that because Soft Quicksand is very soft, any movement will cause the player to sink deeper and deeper and would be unable to escape without help.

Worth noting that if wearing any boots (including Wadding Boots) while walking in Soft Quicksand, the player will get stuck once the boots sink under and is unable to escape if they only have the Long Stick as the doughy consistency prevents the boots from being pulled out. But even though the player is completely stuck while wearing any boots, they sink more slower than without.

Mud Tentacles
Main Article: Tentacles

As of v1.0.8.8, Mud Tentacles have a chance to spawn in Soft Quicksand pits. These tentacles would slowly rise out of the quicksand before grabbing the player with a grip strong enough to stop a creative mode player from flying away to escape.
