About Lava Boats
From ModrinthCrimson and Warped boats that ride on lava like water - fireproof hull, fire-immune passengers, and dropped boats float back to the surface.
Lava Boats
Ride lava like it's water. Lava Boats adds Crimson and Warped boats (regular and chest variants) that float and steer on lava exactly like ordinary boats on water. They never burn, riders never catch fire, dropped boats bob back to the surface, and Depth Strider works in lava. No custom packets - a vanilla client can still join a server running it. Client + server mod.
Ships as a Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge mod (Quilt runs the Fabric jar on the pre-26 lines).
Using Lava Boats
Craft a Crimson or Warped boat from 5 matching nether-stem planks (chest variants: a chest + the boat); they appear in the Tools & Utilities creative tab. Place one on lava and ride - it floats and steers just like a boat on water.
- Boats and their riders are fully fire-immune while on lava; broken or dropped boats bob back up to the lava surface.
- Depth Strider works in lava.
- Adds 4 boat items (crimson / warped, plain + chest). No blocks, no commands, no custom packets.
