Medusa heads were indeed rage inducing growing up.
Lava in Minecraft was pretty ****ing bad, but 3 iron and you carry around a bucket of water. Not to put yourself out(like most people use it for) but I just drop it over lava and then pick it up. Gets rid of all nearby lava instantly.
I can't remember much though 'cause I tend not to play too far into bad games, and when you play a good game even the infuriating stuff is easily forgotten.
