I died in lava with resources. How can I rollback the map to what it was 1 minute ago?
P.S: I am looking at the death screen. I can post screenshots if needed.

If it happened in your solo map then there is no way you can do a rollback of the map.
I suggest in the future that you set up a local server and add some plugins to avoid this kind of problems. Some plugin make automatic saves/backups of the map like PerfectBackup. (for 1.9)
1You can now save with /save, by downloading mods or plugins, can be run in Singleplayer and can be run in Multiplayer too. Save it first, then you can roll back when you want with /rollback. Autosaving is also added. You can autosave with /autosave enable or /autosave disable. It saves each 5 minute.
