Hey developers! I was just wondering if someone could make a plugin that makes lava drain the same as water. I hate it staying around and it would be really useful for some of my servers projects. If no-one can that's fine I'll try myself but I'm not sure how to make it use the least RAM as possible. Thanks, - Nunnsy Any help please? Okay, I'll have a crack at it.

What have you tried? Basically, we ruled out using the current bukkit API at the time, since using work around methods didn't work. The only hope I have for it right now is to somehow edit the way the block works. Which I have no idea how to
Using events when the lava block goes to get the others to drain at a certain place, it's just a matter of finding the blocks and draining them without lagging the server...
Ooooh well it might be different if you're just trying to drain it. You could use the BlockForm event, check if it's lava and check the data value (how "high" the lava level is) and then just set the blocks to air
Well... yeah... The aim is to make lava act like water when falling. LogBlock isn't the best a logging lava and water flows. Also easier when building things. It's more a server mod than a plugin. Any developers willing to have a go? I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to appreciate it. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Well you know how if you clear the source block of water the rest "drains" away? I just want it to do the same. The lava just drains a couple of blocks then stays there. It would be much appreciated.
Oooh so like to get rid of the fail-ish left over lava bits at the end... Okay! I might be able to do that
