An infinite lava source is a structure in the game Minecraft that allows players to obtain an infinite amount of lava. Lava is a valuable resource in Minecraft, as it can be used to create various items, such as potions, furnaces, and nether portals. To create an infinite lava source, players must first dig a 3×3 hole in the ground. They must then place a water bucket in the center of the hole and a lava bucket in each of the four corners. The water will prevent the lava from flowing out of the hole, and the lava will constantly replenish itself.
Infinite lava sources are important for players who need a large amount of lava for their projects. They can also be used to create decorative effects, such as lava lamps and waterfalls. Historically, infinite lava sources have been used by players to create elaborate traps and mazes.
