Lava
Type of Block	Fire
Data Values	Hex: A Dec: 10

Lava is a source block that burns the player and many Mobs when coming in contact with it, causing the player to seek out a form of Water to extinguish it. In peaceful, it is possible to die by staying in Lava. Lava deals five hearts of damage when in contact with it.

Many items that come in contact with Lava will burn and be destroyed. Lava gives off a very large amount of light.

In The Nether, they flow as water does in the Overworld, seven blocks in whatever direction they are flowing in. In the Overworld, they will travel three blocks in any direction. Lava flows much slower than Water.

Natural Occurrence Edit

Lava appears underground in the form of Lava Pools. They rarely appear in the Overworld, but when they do they are in the form of pools. In most NPC Villages, small amounts of lava appears in Blacksmith houses. In The Nether, they appear as Water does in the Overworld.

Uses Edit

Lava and Water, when combined, form either obsidian, stone or cobblestone. Still lava turns to obsidian while moving/ running lava turns to cobblestone. Similarly, when water goes on top of lava, it will create obsidian, where-as Lava goes on top of water, it will create stone.

Lava is a very useful fuel, and can smelt up to one hundred items. Since the Adventure Update, players can now retrieve the bucket that they used to contain the lava.
