New type of lava under y = 0

Hi,

My suggestion is to change the lava that generates under y = 0. It would be a cool thing to generate Molten Magma instead of Lava because I think that it'll add some spice to the new Deepslate caves.
It would deal more damage, obviously, and would have a darker texture. It would be nice if Molten Magma would flow as fast as lava flows in the Nether. Molten Magma is so hot that when you're one to two blocks away from it you would start burning. New variables of automated farms would then appear.

Different suggestions for the use of Molten Magma:
-Smelts up to 200 items in a furnace
-You would only be able to smelt Deepslate Ores with Molten Magma
(-Molten Magma would smelt everything faster even though it's in a normal furnace)
-Flowing Molten Magma would produce Cobbled Deepslate/Deepslate instead of cobblestone/stone when in contact with water (you know how it works)
-Maybe Molten Magma would be in the Nether instead of Deepslate caves, the choice is yours :)
-When water flows on a Molten Magma source it becomes a hardened type of obsidian/crying obsidian.
-When Netherite items fall in Molten Magma, don't hope you will get them back because they will burn! :)
Molten Magma would make the exploring of Deepslate Caves more challenging and on the other side it will also improve your beautiful Minecraft world.

    the molten magma should slowly become lava again if it's placed above y = 0, but you can keep it by putting it in a cauldron, if the molten magma is in the caudron , you still take damage if you are close to it.

    If molten magma is in the nether, then netherite items should still survive in it, if not that will defeat the whole point of netherite.

    If it's in the Nether than it shouldn't be very common down there,just not rare,and it wouldn't be in the big lava pools,otherwise netherite will just be a waste to use in the Nether. But it being below y=0 would be great as it would add a new challenge to deep underground,as well as make it more understandable about Minecraft having a core!ish...Corish. Since the world is infinite...

    But I love this idea! Maybe Molten Magma would also with water create glowing magma,which would deal x2 the damage of normal magma and emit light too!

    Future volcanologist here, and here's what I have to say:

     

    PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!

     

    That's all I have to say. Thank you for suggesting this. :)

    If it was used under y=0, make sure lava can still spawn naturally, for those looking for lava aquifers!
