It could still be used to grief others if you think about it, a player could get another player to come to their house, then be killed by a trap of theiors using lava, or be killed by place lava down. But it would be nice

Even if you can only place it in your plot there is still the risk of, as masterrbc has already said, traps and other ways of killing people with lava. Also there is the problem with if there is a spillage of lava and it goes in areas not wanted, then people would have to clean it up.

Well to prevent the mining for being exploited there could an auto kick where if u stand in the same place for like 15 mins u get auto kicked. Usually people who play don't stay in the same spot for more than a minute. Also I was thinking there could be like a warning of where lava has been placed like it would pop up and if mods or admins r curious they are entitled to an answer. Personally I find lava should be usable besides using it as fuel.

I originally voted that Lava should be placable, as grievers will find ways to grieve no matter what the restrictions are and it's more reliable to just deal with them directly than limit their tools. Then I heard a mod in game mention that lava grieving can cause damage that takes a lot of time to clean up, such as having it escape a plot into the town, onto other plots, etc. Meaning that clean up just from accidents can take the time and impact a lot of people. Factor in grieving, and I can see why there is the restriction. So I'm changing my vote to not allowing it.

Couldnt mods just rollback the griefers actions before he or she even began? Also as I was saying before when lava is placed a warning should prompt in the chat showing the coordinates of where the lava was placed and who it was placed by. Mods could just check up from time to time to see if they r doing anything funny with the lava.

I'll clear this up for you all now. For the foreseeable future lava will not be allowed anywhere in any of our worlds, this is not only an anti-griefing, but also as an anti-killing method. We would receive more moaning about griefing and deaths/lost items that we do currently get about the lack of lava. It doesn't matter if it is in your own plot because it can still be used for killing and griefing neighbouring plots/areas.

Lava is not easy to clean up even using our griefing reversal tools because it spreads and sticks to blocks which are near it. Thus we don't allow it.

If you were that interested in getting cobblestone you could easily go into our mining world and simply mine and mine a massive area and you would quickly get cobble. Or if you were really that bothered, you could fine a nice spot of natural lava and make a generator out of that.

its more hassle for mayors and TA's when clearing plots...

I have already had neighbor's water spill onto my plot, lava spreads further than water...i can see bad things....

((to the neighbor in question, still not mad, it was funny but important to compare to lava i think)
