So during my normal excavating of a large underground system full of coal, iron, and the occasional gold patch I ran into one of those rooms built out of cobblestone with an enemy spawn block in the center. I lucked out and managed to tunnel my way in from the top so I spent some time picking at the mob from an elevated position where they couldn't get to me. This went on for some time as creeper and spider alike fell to my blade and arrows. After awhile though I started to get a bit greedy about all the gunpowder, string, and other stuff on the floor so I decided to risk the next spawn to grab everything. After chiseling a step down I started grabbing everything when suddenly I heard the tell tale fuse sound of a creeper behind me. I ran forward only for a spider to spawn, so while im hastily trying to keep myself alive and outrun a creeper in a tiny room I notice the black maw from where the creeper came out from, and see others there. So I bolt up my makeshift staircase and close the whole thing behind me with some excess gravel im carrying. My health is pretty low so i eat some roasted pork as I catch my breath again, and then walk into a patch of lava I just passed by. Since it was my first time being on fire I did what any normal person would do. I ran around in a circle as the flames slowly killed me.
So now im dead and realize that I had a ton of useful stuff on me. Over 100 coal, at least 20 gold, and some 40 iron. Not counting over 60 arrows, and a bow. And of course my hard fought iron armor. Well when I finally get back to where my corpse was charred to a crisp and there is nothing around. It turns out EVERYTHING fell into the lava. A tiny 4 tile patch of lava consumed all my awesome stuff. Starting immediately im going to build a structure around this lava vein so that never happens again.
