Lava Walker
by justfatlard
Lava Walker is an enchantment for Fabric boots that lets a player walk across lava, turning the source blocks beneath the feet into cobblestone.
What it does
The enchantment works like Frost Walker does for water. Boots carrying it let the wearer cross lava lakes, and each lava source block under the feet becomes cobblestone within a small radius of two blocks. The cobblestone stays in place, unlike the ice that Frost Walker leaves behind, and the enchantment is capped at one level. Frost Walker and Depth Strider cannot share a pair of boots with Lava Walker.
Lava Walker is a treasure enchantment. It does not appear in the enchanting table; it can be found in chests, from fishing rods, or bought from librarians, and with Village Quests installed a librarian sells one book once the player reaches 60 reputation. The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything, and Fabric API is required. Files are published for 26.3 and 1.21.11, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Walking on lava
Boots with the enchantment turn lava source blocks into cobblestone beneath the wearer and let them walk over it.
Permanent cobblestone
The converted blocks remain as cobblestone rather than melting back, so the path persists after the player leaves.
Treasure-only access
The enchantment is found in loot, fishing and librarian trades instead of the enchanting table.
Translated names
Its name and description are synced through Pandorical, so players with the client mod see translated text while vanilla clients see a raw key, and the enchantment works the same either way.
