Description

If you are in a lava lake in nether world and teleport away, then do /back, it teleports you to the nether roof.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to nether world
2. Die/Swim in a center of large lava lake
3. Teleport away (or respawn)
4. Do /back
5. You are teleported on a nether roof

Expected behavior

It teleports you as close as possible next to the lava lake - but not to the nether roof.

Not a bug, I think this is just how safe teleportation works currently. Maybe it can be improved, but there could be technical limitations which make it difficult.

Yeah this probably won't be changed. I'm pretty sure this is the most efficient way that Essentials finds safe locations to teleport to. It might not teleport you to where you want it to teleport you, but it does its job correctly (by not teleporting you into lava!).

Hate to necro an old issue, but since teleporting on top of the nether is a real issue can't there just be a check that if in nether and if safe location is above y 127 then just cancel the teleport...I'm literally having players that can't get back because they teleport to the nether roof when literally ONE block over there is the tunnel they were in that is safe to teleport to...
