Usage
If the player or any mob comes in contact with lava, they will quickly take damage and die, which means it can be useful to protect the player's base from mobs. Most items that fall into lava are incinerated on contact.
Bucket of lava
Lava can be easily collected with a bucket to get a bucket of lava.
Cobblestone
Mixing lava and water will create cobblestone, which means it can be used to create a cobblestone generator.
Obsidian
If the lava is a source block (the lava block where lava flows out of), then obsidian is created. This same concept can be done if it comes in contact with rain, except rain creates obsidian with any lava block, not just a source block.
