ales' Magma Walker
by alesxjs
ales' Magma Walker adds a Fabric boot enchantment that turns lava into magma blocks wherever the wearer walks over it.
What it does
The enchantment is called Magma Walker. Walking over lava temporarily converts the lava nearby into magma blocks, and the effect lasts for a duration set in the config file. It works in the same way as the Frost Walker enchantment does for water and ice, and it is incompatible with Frost Walker while staying compatible with Depth Strider.
Magma Walker books can be found as Nether loot, in sources such as bastions, Nether fortresses and piglin bartering, where the default barter chance is 7.5%. The loot chance and the magma duration are both adjustable in the config file. The mod is translated into 32 languages.
Installation needs Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.1 – 26.2 across four release versions, with fabric-1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest file. Snapshot builds are published, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
