Lava Bucket item in Minecraft

A Lava Bucket carries one lava source, a dangerous liquid and an excellent fuel.

As fuel it burns for 1,000 seconds in a Furnace, enough to smelt 100 items.

What it does

Fill a Bucket from a lava pool, or from a cauldron fed by dripstone under lava. In a furnace, one bucket smelts a hundred items and leaves the empty bucket. Placed lava flows, burns and sets fire to nearby wood, and water poured over a source turns it into obsidian.
