The only lava source is on the other side of the island and I only have 1 bucket. If I'm to travel to the other side just to get a bucket of lava then by the time I reach home it'll be night and this is when i leave home early in the morning. And I always get killed by 1000 zombies, skeletons or spiders so I always end up loosing.
Can't build a river connecting the lava because then the lava will go halfway then stop. All help is appreciated
