the if-else statement, immediately before the sleep, calls return for all (2) conditions, meaning the sleep() method never gets executed.

Because anything after a return is unreachable.

Python

def locate_lava():
    position = pt.locateCenterOnScreen('Images/lava.png', confidence=.4)

    if position is None:
        return False # because of the 'return' anything in the 'if' is unreachable
    else:
        move_character('s', 2)
        print('Found lava!!!')
        return True # because of the 'return' anything in the 'else' is unreachable

    # Because both the 'if' and the 'else' ends with a return, anything after the 'if-else ' is unreachable
    # Start the game
    sleep(3)
    nav_to_image('Images/startgame.png', 3)

You should read carefully the documentation about 'return'.
