VIDEO: Minecraft: Create Infinite Lava

Lava in Minecraft

Before they find themselves in an infinite source of lava Minecraft you need to find lava and have a bucket, because without a bucket you cannot move lava.

• Lava can be found in all underground layers. Since you can only scoop up standing lava with a bucket, look for a lava lake in a cave. There are enough caves to explore in Minecraft and lava springs are not uncommon.
• For the bucket, you only need to have 3 blocks of iron. Place this in a V-shape in the workbench.

Now you can start the "Infinite Lava" project.

Construction of the Infinite Source

1. Find a level spot, near where you need lava in Minecraft.

2. Dig a hole that is a block deep and three by three blocks wide and long.
3. Pour lava into the hole with the bucket.

Now if you only draw from the middle, you have an infinite source of lava. In this way you get the standing lava source you need.

Another method of construction

1. Dig a hole one block deep and 3 blocks long.
2. Now dig another hole to the right and left of the middle hole so that you get a cross.
3. Fill in lava.

With this lava source, too, you have to take the lava exactly from the middle, there it is always created anew.

Use of lava

• You can use a bucket of lava to heat the oven. This is enough for 100 firing processes.
• If you let water hit the lava, you get paving stones. This is how you can build paving stone factories. But for that you need flowing lava.
• Let lava meet water if you want stone. For example, you can pour water over an area and then pour lava on it and you have stone. The infinite lava is particularly useful for this.
• You can also get obsidian, but then water must encounter a source of lava.

So having infinite lava is a huge advantage in Minecraft.
