Fireproof Boats
by LobsterJonn
Fireproof Boats adds warped and crimson boats that can travel across lava, with chested variants for carrying items.
What it does
Players who cross lava lakes can use warped and crimson boats, which float on lava and stay intact in it. The boats are made for safe travel around molten areas of the Nether. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, with 1.0.3 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file and 1.0.4 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is not open source and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Lava-safe boats
Warped and crimson boats ride on lava, letting players cross lava lakes without building bridges.
Chested boat variants
Chested versions of the boats carry storage, so players can haul items across lava while travelling.
Nether travel
The boats give a practical way around molten terrain in the Nether, where walking routes are often blocked.

What the author says
Mojang once again missed out on fleshing out their game. When adding fireproof wood, why not add fireproof boats made from said wood? This mod adds the missing warped and crimson boats which can be used on lava for safe travels around the lava lakes. There are of course also chested versions of the boats.
