Space

Space is a location that is about 500 blocks above sea level of the world of The Blockheads.

Description

Space is the layers of defined block volumes above where air exists. There is no barrier to reaching it other than the necessity of building a way to get there, or using a jetpack . Space is also extremely cold and has no visible precipitation or obvious separation from the air layers.

Effects

Once a player has a blockhead reach space for the first time they will receive the achievement "Space Climber."

Any time a blockhead's head is in space, its Air Bar will appear and begin decreasing. Eating kelp will partially restore the air bar, but it will continue to reduce. There is also a chance of the blockhead taking additional damage much as it would in cold weather. Wearing a Fur Coat will reduce the chance of the latter.

Trivia

What most people call "space" is the rarefied layers or vacuum above the Earth's breathable atmosphere. While it can't be breathed, it isn't intrinsically cold because vacuum doesn't conduct heat. Instead, the lack of air pressure can cause liquids to boil at lower temperatures, which may draw heat from objects they're touching. Yet objects in space can overheat more easily than they can freeze.
