Just a simple mod that aims to disable direct player manipulation of lava. Useful in modpacks where lava can cheese some challenges.
Checks the player every tick for lava buckets, if one is found, it will drop the bucket, set the player on fire for 5 seconds and display "Ouch! This is very hot." on the action bar. (text is changed to "Ai! Isso está muito quente." if the language is Brazilian Portuguese)
This won't work with modded buckets. There are no plans to update this mod in the future. I just needed this for a personal modpack of mine and thought someone else might need it too.
