Lava is a non-renewable liquid block that emits light and sets surrounding blocks on fire if they are flammable. It harms the player by four hearts (
) every second while touching it, and causes drowning damage of half of a heart (
) while submerged in it. Lava also has a high viscosity, meaning the player can only move very slowly while in it. Therefore, falling into lava is often a death sentence, so be careful! Players can place lava by using a lava bucket, which can’t be stacked, or with a Lava Source if playing in Creative Mode. On a flat surface, it can flow up to a distance of eight blocks. If water, river water (or similar) is next to a lava source, the lava source changes into obsidian. Flowing lava changes into stone if it is next to water. Every 10 seconds, flammable items inside lava are destroyed.
Lava usually appears in lava lakes of varying size deep in the underground biomes. Lava appears at the height Y=-273 and below for all map generators except v6. In v6, lava can already be found at Y=-32 or lower.
