Explanation: When player dies in lava, that lava node is replaced with a water source node, and lava cooling occurs.
You do not need the "home" priv in order to use /home, /sethome, or the [Home] button. There is a [Help] screen on the [Status] menu. It's a little chaotic right now, with the player inventory and all the buttons, and so that will likely be redone at some point. In fact, right now if you haven't chatted yet, and try to open the chat menu, you'll receive a crash.
A full set of mese armor (helmet, leggings, boots, chestplate, shield) will prevent node damage from fire, mese crystals, etc., as well as lava however with lava receiving one point of damage yet. The obsidian armor will protect against fall damage if fully equipped, and the bronze will ensure you never run of out breath underwater! The armor stand has two buttons, [Store] and [Apply]. Pressing [Store] will put your own on the stand, and pressing [Apply] will equip you with the armor on the stand.
This game is started from scratch, and incorporated Minetest Game. Some mods were not transferred over, notably the mapgen mod, as this is an entirely different environment to MTG. For example, using water and lava, new land may be made. But otherwise, it's all lava! Currently, when a new player joins on a fresh map, there is nothing but lava, and the player will surely die. However, as is always the case with Lavaland, dying in lava results in placing a water source node where you died. This creates new land.
New players do get a full suit of items, but none of them are ultimately needed. The game can be played from the beginning starting with no items. The game was started entirely empty, and the first few mods added were meant to enable sneakjumping, and hunger and stamina. When sprinting, you can sneakjump, and perform tricks. The structures produced by lava cooling with water and lava, and water, can be a lot of fun to climb and race to the top!
