Just want to clear up some confusion I had. Today, having been told by a friend of an obsidian generator design, I asked a mod if it was ok, and they confirmed it was, so I went ahead and built it. I the made one the obsidian a back into lava, made a new bucket, and traded the lava bucket and 20 red stone at skybase for a lava block, which I proceeded to wear as a hat. Now, Noobcrew was at spawn, and I think he /kill'd me, because next thing I knew, I was dead. I just wanted to 1. Clear up about obsidian gens, and 2. Check whether the trade at skybase is meant to be there. Thank you for your time, JoeIsCrazy
Well any starter item is illegal such as dirt, sand, lava buckets, etc. While some other starter item are legal such as melons, pumpkins, ice, etc. He might've thought you were going to drop it. Another reason why you probably died is that you went into the lava fall.
I didn't go into lava. As I stated, the death was completely out of the blue. I was standing on ground at spawn.
I know, that's what confused me, because I figured that was the only thing I could possibly have done that seemed bad.
