Spawn, with several lavacasts in the background.

Lavacasts are player-created structures often used for griefing. They are what gives spawn

Structural Information

Lavacasts consist of cobblestone, and sometimes lesser amounts of obsidian (as a result of incorrect lava/water placement). Lavacasts usually resemble mountains or pyramids, and sometimes but can take many differing shapes depending on the manner in which they were cast, or terrain features underneath.. Lavacasts often contain small air pockets.

Usage

Lavacasts are generally used to quickly grief large regions. They are also sometimes used to create walls, or large structures in general. A rare but well-known usage of lavacasts is creating huge symbols, the most famous example of this is the giant cobblestone swastika.

The Automation Period represented on Sato's Timeline. Behind it is a great number of lavacasts.

Using lavacasts to grief a build is called "lavacasting" (for example: "I have just lavacasted The Valley of Wheat for the 326th time!!").

+== Structural Information ==
-Lavacasts mostly consist of cobblestone. They might also contain obsidian (mostly in the center of the cast if it is a "mountain", or on the top if it's a "staircase") and stone (usually on the base, due to bodies of water getting in contact with lava). Of course, anything that has been covered by a lavacast or was left in it can also be there if it wasn't destroyed. They usually resemble mountains or pyramids, and sometimes also spires or other shapes, depending on the terrain and the way the lavacast was casted. Lavacasts often contain small air pockets.

-==Making and destroying lavacasts==
-While there are multiple techniques of creating lavacasts, they all generally revolve around pointing water on lava from above. When it comes to destruction, the only two reasonable ways are fast pickaxes (like ones used for highways) and TNT. Even with those, however, making lavacasts is faster than destroying them.

-Lavacasts are usually used to grief bases or the spawn. They might also be used to easily create walls, pyramids or artificial mountains. A rare but well-known usage of lavacasts is creating huge symbols, the most famous example of this is the giant cobblestone swastika. Lavacasts are never intentionally placed in serious, aesthetical bases, but are common as a cheap way to do things.
