Hot Stuff

Tab: MinecraftDifficulty: Easy

Tree path: Minecraft › Stone Age › Getting an Upgrade › Acquire Hardware › Hot Stuff (advancements are independent: they can be completed in any order; the tree only guides progression)

Tree parent: Acquire Hardware

Advancements are exclusive to Java Edition. The Bedrock Edition equivalent is achievements, which have different objectives.

How to get Hot Stuff

1. Craft a bucket from 3 iron ingots in a V shape.
2. Find lava: surface lava pools, lava aquifers in deep caves, or anywhere in the Nether.
3. Use the bucket on a lava SOURCE block: the still blocks, not the flowing ones. Flowing lava can't be collected.
4. The lava bucket in your inventory completes the advancement.

Tips

A lava bucket smelts 100 items, the best furnace fuel in the game. Lava is even renewable: a cauldron under pointed dripstone with lava above it slowly fills with fresh lava.
