Lava Turns Sand into Glass
Lava Turns Sand into Glass changes what happens when lava meets sand blocks, so that the sand becomes glass blocks on contact.
What it does
When lava touches a sand block, the block is replaced by a glass block at once. The change is configurable, so a server owner can set which sand blocks transform and which glass blocks they become. The mod is a server-side only addition, so players join without installing it, and only the server needs it. It requires Deimos to run. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Sand to glass on contact
Sand blocks turn into glass blocks as soon as lava touches them, which makes lava a tool for producing glass.
Configurable block list
A config file lists which sand blocks transform and which glass blocks they produce, so the change can be tuned per server.
Glass farming
Players can build glass farms that run on lava, adding a different way to collect glass during play.
