Sometimes I really hate this game

Heading back from a decently sized mining trip with my partner. She's carrying most of the loot (a stack of diamonds, over a stack of blocks of raw iron, about half a stack of blocks of gold, several stacks of skulk and couple dozen stacks of skulk sensors). We're walking along and she falls into a lava pit. She's doing everything she can to get out but it won't let her float above the lave despite it being only one block deep. She dies, loses the loot, 6 shulkers, all her diamond armour and tools. I had only just recently concinved her to come play this realm again after a friend had got her killed and lost her, her armour.
