Magma Cubes Armor Change

Magma Cubes should have a high amount of armor and knockback protection only when "resting" on the ground, and perhaps even deflect ranged weapons (similar to shulkers). However when jumping, Magma Cubes expose their core and have little armor protection. The varying armor protection might make the mob slightly more interesting to fight, as it's currently not much different from a slime.

    I personally find magma cubes to be a lot more difficult than a slime.  The main reason for me is that the smallest cubes still do damage, and they can be hard to hit when I'm being knocked around by them.

    • Resistance -1? Anyone?

    This makes sense.
