If you need another example then here you go.
If you want to know why I have no levels it's because I started a creative world with cheats enabled I used creative mode to give myself the potions and to tunnel down to lava with minimal effort.

See you can even do it without blindness.

You can also just do this without blindness.You can just make a hole in the wall and swim to it then look back into the lava river. You can easily survive this with a fire resistance potion.

I and a lot of other people I know would support this fix so we can play minecraft in the better alpha versions. Now-days minecraft is uninteresting and well kinda sad.
