A biome similar to the swamp or marsh biome except instead of water its all lava. I think this would be a nice touch. Good for challenge. Instead of dirt, I think it'd make sense if it was stone...? More like a volcanic area this would be. I suppose it'd be too much like the Netherworld, however, no netherrack of course, its just a new biome, right?
As said above, there really is no purpose to add another 'Hell' biome. As the Nether pretty much packages challenge and fire into one. So technically this would be redundant since a similar biome already exists. And I don't personally think it's a good idea either, as trees and Grass would simply burn away, and might even spread to a nearby biome flourished with trees.

Gonna have to agree with the other two responses, sorry.
Add more detail and try to convince me and maybe i'll change my mind.

What would make this idea cool is to put a rock hill in the middle of the lava biome with a special cave leading underground (made of cobble, like a volcanic vent?), then a special cave system with loot similar to a nether fortress (chests here and there with horse armor, gold, diamonds, etc, maybe not netherwart since you wouldn't care to go to the nether after you found it). Also, new critters like 'magma creeps', that look like bigger silverfish that use an animated lava texture for its skin, and they move slowly and leave 1-high 'flowing lava' drops behind them (1-high so the flowing lava doesn't flow down hills and make the game too laggy). They'll drop experience orbs and sometimes blaze powder when whacked (no blaze rods, they stay in the nether), and set you on fire if touched. Maybe 'fire bats', that glow like spider eyes but don't light up the cave (otherwise it'll be too laggy), and they'll drop experience orbs and sometimes glowstone dust when whacked, and set you on fire if touched.
Just lava? Not too interesting, but a whole new environment with new baddies and potential loot? Sounds fun!
I'll say that I don't think that an entire lava biome is required or even wanted. So don't support the suggestion as is.
I do think that a lava _technical_ biome would be alright though. I'm not sure how surface lava is generated already - it might be a technical biome as far as I know - but I wouldn't have a problem if the existing surface lava is made a little nicer/cooler. Maybe some obsidian or ever a partial nether portal.
I know that in my own game worlds, I have created mini-nether regions on the overworld with a working portal to make it look like the nether has broken through. That's just something I like to do, but it might be cool as a rare spawn in vanilla.
I love how you say "challenge" even though this isn't challenge, it's just taking a forest biome and splattering lava everywhere. It's simply pure annoyance. With enough skill, anybody can overcome this.
(enough skill being if you can't do it, you are inferior to the entire human species)
We sort of already have a way of getting this: there is a lava oceans option in the Customizable world type, and there is a Nether... Although I think a volcanic biome would be a great addition, I do not think this is the way to do it. No support.

Minecraft is too easy... needs more death...
Uh we already have this, it's called the nether. I don't understand how having another lava biome is a good idea. Or the purpose of it.
No support.

This is pointless to have, be a pain in the butt to tackle, and also, we already have the nether.
No Support.
p.s. if you want a challenge, go get some maps and/or mods to play with!
I post pretty rarely nowadays. Gosh, I wish this place weren't so... empty...
Well I'm not against more biomes, they SHOULD be original and make sense. This doesn't make any sense to me when we already have the nether.

No support; pure annoyance.
Add me on steam!
Random junk is random:
A few of my suggestions and a personal favorite suggestions. More neat-o suggestions in my bio.

Customizable world type has this, and the Nether has this. This makes this "added".

Really, lava biome? 0_0
There is another biome that is as helly as the "Lava Biome", guess what its called, THE NETHER!
Wow its easy when you have hostile mobs killing you or creeper blowing up your house!
ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT!
I have one question to ask WHY?!
We already have the nether, and that is even bad enough.
No support.
Does not fit, does not look nice, a bit uncreative and unoriginal, and Hell on earth? Come on.
No support... yeah.
We have Nether for "more death" and lava. Also lava lakes already spawn. No support.
1. We have the Nether
2. There is a lava preset
No suppport
