Lava Pull
by JoraSH10
Lava Pull changes vanilla lava so that it acts like a harmless fluid, pulls entities toward its center and spreads the way water does.
What it does
Lava Pull modifies the vanilla lava fluid directly rather than adding new blocks, extra fluids or extra items. In vanilla, lava burns entities that touch it for a long time; with this mod, lava stops burning and instead draws nearby entities inward toward its center, so a lava lake becomes something to walk around rather than avoid.
Because the change applies to the existing lava in the game, it reaches survival and creative worlds alike and appears wherever vanilla lava is generated during world creation. Animated lava textures are included, so the fluid still looks like lava while its behavior differs. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files cover ten release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, and the code is under the MIT License but the project is not open source.
Key features
Harmless lava
Lava no longer burns entities that stand in it, so players can wade through it without taking fire damage.
Inward pull
Entities near lava are drawn toward its center, which changes how lava pools behave in the world.
Water-like spreading
Lava flows and spreads in the manner of water instead of its vanilla pattern.
Animated textures
The mod ships animated lava textures, so the fluid keeps a visual identity while its mechanics change.

What the author says
Instead of acting like normal lava, it becomes harmless to entities, pulls them inward, and spreads more like water. The mod directly changes vanilla lava, so there are no new blocks, no extra fluids, and no extra items to learn. This is a gameplay-changing mod and will affect normal lava behavior in survival…
