Lava is a 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 source block if playing in Creative. Lava usually appears in lakes of varying size deep in the underground Biomes.
On a flat surface, it can flow up to a distance of eight blocks. If water or river water is next to a lava source, the lava source changes into obsidian. Flowing lava changes into stone if it is next to water.
