Lava Tools
Lava Tools gives players five lava-themed tools (sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe) crafted from lava buckets, built for NeoForge.
What it does
Each of the five added tools is crafted from lava buckets and takes the place of its iron counterpart in the crafting and combat roles. The tools carry lava-themed textures while keeping the durability, mining speed and attack values of the iron set, so they work the same way in use. The mod is a lightweight addition for players who want lava-styled gear without changing how the game plays.
The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Files exist for NeoForge only, for the game versions 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file released on 2025-09-26. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
