I was convinced my lava waste disposal pit was safe. In the basement, surrounded by dirt & stone ... a stray spark would have to perform gymnastics and superhuman feats of leaping to get at the undersides of my ground-level floorboards. Then, I turned around from having spent several minutes translating the runes on my enchanting table to find my entire house burning down around me. WTF? Spoilered for size: Spoiler: |

With all the effort to fireproof, why not go that one step further and make sure there was a dirt or stone buffer to protect the wooden floors... ...either that or craft a sprinkler system. That's a craftable item, isn't it? |

My new system utilizes a sticky piston (triggered by pressure plate) to ensure that the lava is completely enclosed when not in use. |

Maybe something else caught your house on fire? |

It wasn't raining, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't struck by lightning and there's really nothing else that could start a fire like that. Oh, and in answer to your question, Foamy - the lava trashcan was an afterthought to the original house design. Finding a way to fireproof around the lava is a heck of a lot easier than re-working the house to add that extra layer of separation between basement and ground floor. Hopefully, my next blueprint will take into account everything I need/want to do inside, so I don't have to tack on extra **** later. |

That's a burnt-down house? What the **** am I looking at? |

The little embers that fly out of lava are cosmetic and do not start fires. However, any wooden objects within a certain radius around the lava can catch fire, even if the lava is surrounded by stone. |

Yeah, I know that and I've seen the top of a chest catch even though the closest lava was on the other side of a wall, but the fire didn't consume the chest and my wooden floor in this case was 3 blocks up. I just don't think it should have caught.

According to the wiki, flammable things can catch fire within 3 blocks of lava. Intervening material does not matter. Your ceiling needs to be 4 blocks up to be safe. Chests, in spite of being made out of wood, are not actually flammable. If your floor is wood (in the picture, it's cobblestone?) I don't know why it hasn't caught fire. Just lucky, I guess. |

His wooden floor did catch fire. The lava is in the basement. Sounds like you should lower the lava to the same level as your basement floor. |

Whoops. I misread that. The "ceiling" in the picture is the floor. |

I thought the fire was faster-than-light. Apparantly I was correct. |
