ObsidianToLava is a lightweight Paper plugin that lets players turn obsidian into lava using an empty bucket.

It is simple, fast, configurable, and built for modern Paper servers.


What is ObsidianToLava?
ObsidianToLava adds one focused mechanic:

• Right click an obsidian block with an empty bucket.
• The obsidian block is removed.
• The empty bucket is consumed.
• The player receives a lava bucket.

If the player's inventory is full, the lava bucket is dropped naturally at the player location.


How does it work?
When a player right clicks a block, the plugin checks:

• The clicked block must be obsidian.
• The player must hold an empty bucket.
• The player must have the obsidiantolava.use permission.
• The player must not be on cooldown, unless they have the bypass permission.

If all checks pass, the plugin converts the bucket into lava and removes the obsidian block.
