* [[Lava fiend]]s and [[lava spider]]s spawn on lava tiles.
* Over time, lava can freeze naturally, but has a smaller chance to spread to neighboring tiles instead.
** Spreading lava may affect non-rock tiles such as dirt or , grass , bushes or even paved tiles, changing them to lava as well. When this lava freezes, the tile will become rock, effectively raising the rock layer on that tile.
* When spreading to nearby tiles, lava will only become a lava column beneath these tiles if the tile is not already mined out.
* Lava tiles consume anything on their north and west tile borders.
