FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Alright, so I'm playing Minetest's version of skyblocks right? Well, I left a hole in my cobble generator by mistake, and so lava was leaking out. When I went to build my upside-down house, which I used water to get underneath. All that lava that was leaking from 800+ blocks in the air, eventually turned into cobble. Now it lags the local server.

How can I remove them w/o losing my progress??

I've tried WorldEdit, but because of the lag, it can't remove the nodes.

Edit: There is still lava and water flowing down even though there's not supposed to be any.

I have seen the bug before, it must be destroyed.

Perhaps...you could place nodes using the worldedit, following the path of the lava, then when all the lava is covered, delete them all again?

Can you screenshot the issue? Having trouble understanding the situation.

Without really understanding, you should be able to put a block of anything substantial at the upper most occurrence of water\lava to cause it to slowly regress.

Nope, can't place nodes because there's too much lava, the local server lags because of it.

There's the screenshot. Its from what I could load at the time, and I'm under it. It spreads out even more.

Note:There is no lava source, because it was leaking from a cobblestone generator I made while on skyblocks.. It is all flowing lava that is stuck because of how much there is.

ermmm..maybe i could world edit it for you and then upload it..you'll have to upload it and send me a link

ive had this many many times you must place a bucket over the top of water then work the remains down systematically

this happened so many times on sicp server to me and raymo
