How i can push mobs from lava

[last prairie]

i need push mobs from lava to air or to players, how i can do this.

I have a mechanic for catching a mob from fishing, I want to make it so that when catching a mob from lava, it does not drown but moves towards the player or something like that..

I have event for check nbt tag from mobs right now:

EntityEvents.spawned(event => {
    const nbt = event.entity.getNbt()
    if(nbt.Tags[0] !== "isLavaCreature") return
    //code for mob walk to player
})

At the moment, the mob is just drowning in lava, I want to avoid this in any way, maybe there are some simple ideas?

simple idea would be to maybe teleport it somehow
otherwise you need a lot of vector math and forces

this is not an easy task in the slightest

Is there any way to find the nearest block?

[alpine snow]

not easily, you'd need some AABB checks or just simply go through every block in order
i cant really help with it as im busy with something, either way i wouldnt even know where to start working on something like this lol

this is far beyond even my understanding of the game and KJS
