Lava Vision Enchantment
by sal-fish
With Lava Vision Enchantment, a helmet can see clearly through lava, removing the murky orange tint that normally blocks the view underwater and in Nether lava pools.
What it does
The mod adds one enchantment, Lava Vision, sold as an enchanted book and applied only to helmets. A worn helmet with the enchantment lets the player look through lava and see the surroundings clearly, which helps when searching for ancient debris, exploring underwater ruins or moving through volcanic areas.
The enchantment works in singleplayer and multiplayer and can be combined with other helmet enchantments. Its settings are read from a configuration file, which the mod requires to run. The author plans to describe enchantment levels, rarity and incompatibilities in later updates, and those details are not part of the current files.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with a Fabric build for 1.21.1, a Forge build for 1.20.1 and a NeoForge build for 26.1.2. Builds cover 1.20 – 26.1.2 across 20 release versions.
