DEEP DIVES
BLOCK OF THE MONTH: MUD
本周方块：泥巴

Glorious mud!
令人兴♂奋的泥巴！

There’s been dirt in Minecraft for a very long time. It was added just six days after development began on what at the time was called "Cave Game”. But for some reason it took us more than a decade to add dirt’s soggier cousin to the game. Our block of the month, today, is Mud.

在《我的世界》中，泥土已经存在很长时间了。它是在Cave Game的开发开始的六天后添加的。但出于某种原因，我们花了十多年时间才将泥土的湿漉漉的表亲添加到游戏中——今天，我们的每月方块是泥巴！

Mud finally became a part of Minecraft in The Wild Update, released in June 20222. The update added the Deep Dark, the Warden, and the Allay. But it also added the Mangrove Swamp biome, and with it the ability to make your dreams come true – particularly if your dreams involve filling your inventory entirely with mud.

泥巴最终成为了202222022年6月发布的《Minecraft荒野更新》的一部分。该更新添加了潜声、监守者和小安粒（也就是轻灵）。但它也增加了红树林沼泽生物群落，并使你的梦想成真——特别是关于用泥巴填满你的背包的梦想！

There are two ways to get mud in Minecraft. You can locate a mangrove swamp biome and dig it up (a shovel is the best tool to use for this), or you can pour the contents of a water bottle over a dirt block. Either way, you’ll be rewarded with a nice pile of mud. Now, what are you going to do with it?

你可以用两种方式获得泥巴。你可以找到红树林沼泽生物群落并将其挖掘出来（最好使用铲子），也可以将水直接倒在土块上。不管怎样，你都会得到一堆上好的泥巴！那么，现在，你打算用它做什么呢？

Well, mud has some interesting properties. You can combine it with wheat to get “packed mud”, which is used to make mud bricks for building with. You can also place it directly above a block with pointed dropstone underneath it – the water will slowly leach out, turning the mud into clay.

嗨嗨害，告诉你嗷，泥巴有一些有意思的特性！你可以把它一股脑掺在水稻小麦里，得到“堆积的泥”，然后制作建筑用的泥砖！你也可以把它直接扔在一块石头上面，下面是尖尖的滴石——水会慢慢地渗出，直到把泥巴变成粘土！

Finally, you can combine mud with mangrove roots in a crafting table to get... er... muddy mangrove roots. We really think you’ll enjoy that one.

最后，你可以将泥巴和红树林根在工作台上搅和在一块，得到……呃……泥红树林根！我们真心认为你会喜欢的。

In the real world, mud is the name given to a whole range of different mixtures of water with soil, loam, silt, and clay. It generally shows up near water sources or after rainfall and gets all over the place. Nonetheless, it’s an important part of our architectural history!

在现实世界中，泥巴是指水与土壤、壤土、淤泥和粘土的各种不同混合物。它通常出现在水源附近或降雨后，并遍布各地。尽管如此，它仍然是我们建筑历史的重要组成部分！

For thousands of years, mud has been used in construction – dried out in the sun to form mud bricks, sometimes with the addition of stone, straw, gravel, and other things to give it a bit more strength. When this happens it’s sometimes called cob, or adobe. Entire cities have been built this way – particularly in drier parts of the world – most notably the ancient citadel of Bam in Iran.

数千年来，泥巴一直被用于建筑——在阳光下晒干，形成泥砖，有时还添加石头、稻草、砾石和其他东西，以增强其硬度。这样混合后，它们就会时而被称为“cob”，时而被称为“adobe”。整个城市都是这样建造的——特别是在世界上较为干旱的地区——最著名的是伊朗古老的巴姆城堡。

But humans aren’t the only creatures that live in mud. It also provides a home for worms, frogs, snails, clams, and crayfish – and it’s frequently used by larger creatures, like buffalo, pigs, rhinos, hippos, and elephants to cool off and protect themselves from the sun.

但是嗷，人类并不是唯一生活在泥巴中的生物。它还为蠕虫、青蛙、蜗牛、蛤蜊和虾提供了一个家，而且大型生物如水牛、猪、犀牛、河马和大象经常使用它来降温和保护自己免受阳光的照射。

So next time you’re finding yourself overwhelmed by the heat in Minecraft, locate a mangrove swamp and sink into the deep, cooling mud. You’ll be glad that you did!

所以，下一次当你发现自己处在我的世界的高温时，找到一个红树林沼泽，然后陷入深而冷的泥浆中。你会很高兴你这么做力！
