Lava Armour
by L0TCH4
Lava Armour adds a lava armour set and a lava sword to Fabric, with Lava Shards crafted from lava buckets as the material for the set.
What it does
Lava Shards are crafted from lava buckets and used to make the armour pieces and the sword. The armour is fire-resistant, and its fire damage reduction increases with each piece worn. Attack power of the lava sword is set to match the diamond sword, so the weapon's damage is comparable to diamond tools.
Hits from the lava sword set enemies on fire for 5 seconds. A killing blow still counts as ignition, so mobs that die in one hit can drop cooked food, such as steak or cooked chicken, instead of raw meat. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It requires Fabric API, and files are published for 1.21 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest build from 2026-07-01. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Lava armour set
A full set of armour pieces made from Lava Shards, each piece worn adding to the fire protection.
Lava sword
A sword that deals damage close to a diamond sword and sets the struck enemy on fire.
Cooked drops from fire kills
A kill made with the lava sword still yields cooked food, since the target is set alight before its death is worked out.
Lava Shard crafting
Lava Shards are made from lava buckets and form the material for the armour and sword recipes.

How it compares
Armour Sound Tweak Updated is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.21 – 1.21.4, licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and open source, and it is client-side only, so it does not change gameplay on a server. Steel Weapons and Armour! is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6, client and server, under the Apache License 2.0 and not open source, so it covers a different version range from Lava Armour.
