I think the noxious fumes created by potent sulfur are supposed to be SO2 and H2S, both sulfur-containing gases created by volcanic activity. A concentration of 1000 parts per million (or 1 in 1000) of SO2 is enough to kill you in ten minutes. The same concentration of H2S will kill you in one breath.

So if we’re being 100% realistic the gas would accumulate in these sulfur caves and you would probably die just by entering one. Also some of those pools would probably be full of sulfuric acid which would cause chemical burns if you jumped in.

I am, of course, nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking because its fun, actually making you instantly die would make the game suck. However, as a chemistry nerd, I really do feel like the sulfur caves are totally underwhelming.

Anyways I did this with a datapack and a tripwire-activated command block.
