Lava Buckets For Everyone!!!!

[tiggy26668]

yea so first off, the lava wouldn't be place-able.....

but it would be nice if us trusted or even everyone could carry lava buckets.

why? well because lava is technically the best fuel in the game
from a survival aspect i would use lava over any other fuel simply because it's over 10 times more efficient than coal, not to mention it's easily renewable.

lava lasts 1000 seconds per bucket, even the mighty blaze rod pales in comparison to it at only 120 seconds

not to mention buying coal or blaze rods in mass can be quite expensive whereas lava is just found free flowing

in an ideal situation i think anyone should be able to pick up and carry the lava buckets, however the staff would remain the only ones capable of placing the lava.

i'd even settle for buying pre-filled buckets from the market without the ability to place or pick it up, so long as i could use it in a furnace.

but oh well that's my idea let the nay saying commence

I like this idea, hope this gets implemented. 

[CazualxGrenade]

Great idea. Gives players a new item to use, and without harm. Might be tricky to put into use.

[NathanialJones]

I like the idea, this I think was posted before and heresthe problem: dispensers can place lava

'Twas suggested before.... nothing ever came of it. It would be cool

[TheWholeLoaf]

This is a survival server after all. I like the idea. Just have to make it so it cant be placed in dispensers.

Love the idea! 

[Nhataley]

I also love this idea

Meh I am fine with coal

You do realize that lava isn't a renewable source unlike water, so there are only a limited amount of lava source blocks as there are coal.

Lava would be nice to smelt huge bundles of resources for large projects, but for something small or practical, coal and blaze rods are more effective.

on the contrary, while u can't just make a 3x1 ditch or a 2x2 ditch and take infinite lava, if you just cause it to fall and spread in all directions you'll get about 4 new source blocks. it's not exactly like water yes, but the end result is the same.

[NathanialJones]

Ate you sure those are SOURCE blocks? Can you pick them up+ you couldnt place the lava to make it drop any way.
I do like this idea though

[Morrison1996]

the lava that falls down does not turn into source blocks. It may seem that way since it wont go away but it is a kind of bug. You can take try and pick it up all you want but you can't since it isn't source.

i suppose you're right, guess they changed it and i never noticed.

of course that doesn't change the fact that the nether is full of lava..... i'd just fill up a double chest worth of buckets and use them at my leisure.

would take about a year of everyone farming it to clear it all out

Making a 3x1 or a 2x2 would involve placing the lava so you cant do that. and....
