The thorns does not work against some monsters such as slimes. This has been reported in To verify this, I manually created a level 127 Thorns enchantment and tried it against different mobs. Zombies, Skeletons, Zombie Pigmen and Spiders instantly died. They were instantly killed on first contact, none of the them required a second time for the Thorns enchantment to work. However, the slimes never got hurt once even though I have spawned around 64 Large Slimes and went around getting attacked by them for 5 minutes or so, with the same enchantment level. The enchantment level 127 was obtained using a NBT file editor. A level 3 Thorns enchantment (maximum level obtainable without editors) still does not damage slimes. Update: (Thanks to Mike B for the comprehensive coverage) Mobs affected: Zombies, Cave Spiders, Spiders, Skeleton, Wither Skeletons, Zombie Pigmen, Endermen and Silverfish. Not affected: Wither Boss, Enderdragon, Magma Cube, Slimes, Witch, Wild Angry Wolf, Creeper, Blaze and possibly Iron Golem. (Creeper should not be affected because they're dead after they attacked) Video Proof: http://youtu.be/BPUWM3HvCZY |

Fixed, with the caveat that Witches' thrown potions do not cause Thorns splashback, as it is the potion causing the damage, not the Witch itself. |

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w11b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |

i think the blazes are having this glitch because of them having 2 types of attacks ranged and touching maybe that they arent adapted to thorns? |

For now, I'm just using Dinnerbone's tweet that the thorns work on everything. The link to his tweet was in a previous comment. |

And I don't know if Witches should be affected by Thorns as they attack with splash potions. Maybe Witches could be affected when he uses a splash potion of instant damage, but I don't know. |

Creepers shouldn't be affected by Thorns, as they self-destruct to kill you. |

This still occurs in snapshot 13w03a. I used a level III thorns enchantment on all diamond armor on all possible hostile mobs except I couldn't get the Iron Golem to attack me from upsetting villagers, thought that was a feature. Mobs affected: Zombies, Cave Spiders, Spiders, Skeleton (from projectiles?), Wither Skeletons, Zombie Pigmen, Endermen, and Silverfish. Not affected: Wither Boss, Enderdragon, Magma Cube, Slimes, Witch, Wild Angry Wolf, Creeper, and Blaze (not really affected unless you stand near them but I think that was them taking damage from their own attack). Video Proof: http://youtu.be/BPUWM3HvCZY I didn't realize until after I rendered the video that I didn't get record blaze and silverfish. OS: Windows 7 |

Certainly confirmed. |

I think this must be solved. I had a level 100 Thorns on a flatworld also and it didn't affect slimes. |

Well, Dinnerbone said in one of his tweets that Thorns should work against everything... |
| Comment by Kumasasa [ 24/Dec/12 ] |
|
Quite true... |

By that logic arrows shouldn't work. Or punching. Definitely sounds like a bug to me. |

Maybe intended ? Ever tried to stab a jello ? |
