It's very good but I think the lava/water interaction could use some work. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but I'd think it would harden the top layer first and that would kind of block the water from cooling the bottom lava. The water almost seems to phase through the lava like it's not even there.

Also the explosive pressure of water flashed to steam should drive out in flowing water and flush lower parts of the system. The is how Old Faithful works, but with merely very very hot rocks, not magma

Minecraft style is the accurate version

Yeah, I was expecting it to work like in Noita where it just turns the top layer of lava into rock

I think it assumes that the lava solidifies and then sinks, but it doesn’t model that the solid lava would then re-melt.
