I See Lava (Fork)

by jlstout1998

I See Lava (Fork) makes lava translucent on the client, so players can see through it while the red overlay stays visible.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.10 – 26.3

What it does

Only the client needs the mod; servers run without it. It changes how lava is drawn: the lava surface turns translucent and the red screen overlay that appears when a player is inside lava is adjusted to match. A second settings menu sets how translucent the lava looks. The mod uses a custom texture, so it may not display correctly with some resource packs. It is published for Fabric and requires Fabric API, for game versions 1.21.10 – 26.3. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Translucent lava

    Lava is rendered see-through, so the blocks beneath its surface stay visible.

  2. Adjustable transparency

    A second settings menu controls how translucent the lava looks, from nearly solid to mostly clear.

  3. Overlay handling

    The red overlay shown while the player stands in lava is changed to suit the translucent surface.
