Basalt Walker

by hashtag233

Basalt Walker adds an enchantment for boots that lets the wearer walk on lava by creating soft basalt blocks underfoot.

ForgeClient and serverCC-BY-NC-3.01.14.4 – 1.18.2

What it does

The enchantment works like the vanilla Frost Walker, but for lava. Walking over lava with the boots generates basalt blocks under the feet, and those blocks are only kept while the motion continues. Once the player stops, the new basalt fades away after a few seconds, so the path does not stay behind.

The enchantment has a maximum level of II and is classed as a treasure enchantment. It can be found in chest loot, through fishing, as raid rewards and from villager trades on enchanted books, but it cannot be obtained in survival mode through the enchanting table. Installing the mod on a server means both the server and every player need it.

Installation requires Forge only, with files for 1.14.4, 1.15.2, 1.16.5, 1.17.1 and 1.18.2. The latest file is 1.3.1 for 1.18.2, released 2022-03-16. The code is published with a public source repository and issue tracker, and it is released under the CC-BY-NC-3.0 license, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Lava walking

    Boots with the enchantment let the wearer cross lava by laying basalt blocks beneath each step.

  2. Temporary basalt path

    Generated basalt disappears a few seconds after it appears, so the path closes behind the player.

  3. Treasure-only enchantment

    The enchantment is found in loot, fishing, raids and trades rather than the enchanting table.

  4. Spanish localisation

    A Spanish translation is included, provided by zeedif, alongside the English text.
