Scorpions spawn near [[cacti]] and therefore are mostly found in [[desert]]s, although they can wander to adjacent [[biome]]s.

After initial [[world]] generation, scorpions require a cactus of at least 20 in-game days old to spawn. Scorpion spawning will typically happen just before the cactus dies.

Scorpions can be difficult to kill, as they have have attacks that can severely wound [[blockhead]]s. Even the strongest weapons may require two blows to kill one, and as scorpions almost always retaliate using weak weapons against one is a poor strategy. Confronting one scorpion at a time reduces the risk significantly.

It is possible to trap a scorpion to make it easier to kill. The pictured method is to dig one block down and stack two [[block]]s next to it. The scorpion can then be trapped and killed without moving away.
