* ''{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}'' allows you to collect and use lava in constructions. If you can avoid being burned by it, of course. Lava also happens to be the longest-lasting heat source for furnaces; unfortunately, using a lava bucket in a furnace used to destroy the bucket, and depending on the map you may have to construct a portal to the Nether just to have a steady source of lava.
** Of course, there you run into the problem that getting the obsidian to create the portal is best done with lava... [[MortonsFork GAH!]]
