Lava Bucket

A lava bucket is a bucket filled with lava.

Obtaining
To fill an empty bucket with lava, it on a lava source block, or, $$, lava in a cauldron. The block is consumed in the process. Flowing lava does not fill a bucket.

Lava is a finite resource. New lava source blocks cannot be created, unlike water source blocks, which can be created from two water source blocks horizontally adjacent to an air block.

Usage
A lava bucket can be used as an efficient fuel. It has the longest burning value of 1000 seconds, compared to 800 seconds for a coal block (a lava bucket smelts 100 items, and a coal block smelts 80). After smelting starts, the lava bucket turns into an empty bucket.

Lava buckets can be used to break Nether portal blocks by placing the lava on the side of a block next to the portal block.

Be extremely careful with a lava bucket in your hotbar, especially when it is the active selection. The chance of accidentally spreading the lava is very high, perhaps leading to your demise.

Trading

Cauldrons
$$, a lava bucket can be used to fill a cauldron with lava. The lava damages any entity standing inside the cauldron, unless the entity is immune to fire damage. Flowing water or waterlogging does not affect the lava in the cauldron.
