Lava Buckets For Everyone!!!!
☣2crzy4uall☣:
Flowing lava needs more calculations because its figuring out the physics, not the animation
NatanylJames (N8MATTHEWS):
Couldnt you set this up the same way they set up fire charges?
SonicHogSpeed:
I was told it was the fire in the Nether causing lag, not the lava. Second, it actually is possible to glitch to get a lava bucket, just rare and maybe needs lag. I've gotten 3 so far, but the idea seems good. And emptying out the Nether… I can't imagine that :o

Ok noting the physics calculations, I believe the game only checks to see if a physics calculation is needed.
if physics calculation is required
perform physics calculations
else
leave the block like it is
In other words there is only additional work done upon something changing with the lava, but if nobody picks up lava or nothing happens that would require a change in physics then the flowing lava still wont take more calculations than the stationary lava. You also need to remember that the game does look at every single block affected by physics to determine if something needs to happen. The game needs to calculate whether or not the lava needs to be flowing somewhere instead of simply staying stationary. It seems odd to us, but the computer doesn't know and must do a check every tick. However it wont recalculate physics unless deemed necessary.

Coal and Blaze Rods are just fine...I wouldn't mind it though.
