About

The Lava Bucket holds a source block of lava in a bucket container. It does not stack, so each bucket takes one inventory slot. Admins use it to fuel furnaces and other lava-consuming machines, light large areas, or quickly terraform terrain by placing lava and letting it flow.

Spawn it with the /give command. Once placed in the world, the bucket is consumed and leaves behind a lava source block that flows normally until it spreads or is removed.
