Option to have lava in the nether instead of water

[Bobcycle]

I would love an option to enable lava to be generated instead of water in the nether since this allows for one, more light and secondly it's basically what the nether is about.

Maybe something like lava-instead-of-water: true/false

It's a small feature, but definitely something I (and others) would love to have. I have tried using custom generators but it didn't work out too well for me.

I'll look into it. There are some game-play issues though the primary being that you'll give players an unlimited amount of lava. That will have knock-on effects for the overworld, e.g., unlimited obsidian.

Make buckets not work in the nether then if the server admin sets lava_nether=true? Or give them the option to set the lava pickup in the nether only

Tasty, maybe you need to look into this again.

Since 1.17 lava is a renewable resource. So I do not think it will be a huge deal if in the acid island it will be more available than in other gamemodes.

Just wanted to "remember" this feature and also maybe if it's possible giving Admins the opportunity to change or choose between water and lava in all worlds. (If that's possible). :)

@Max2124 This is done. Note that I adjusted the nether and end islands.
