All I want to make is a simple cloud of smoke eat my volcano like a pyroclastic flow in a timed manner to make it look like a pyroclastic flow eruption.
COMMUNITY QUESTION
How can I make something that is similar to a volcanic eruption?

Your only option would be to use Particle emitters for things such as smoke, sparks, etc. As far as creating lava you can do that with particle emitters or by animating parts that look like lava. Be careful though. Too many particles from the particle emitters can slow down your game significantly.

I don't think many particles will affect much performance; there is a render limit also plus graphic level affects how much you see

Not the only option, but probably the best.

Try using ParticleEmitters, or combinations of Smoke.
