Lava Walker Enchantment
by Flame154
Lava Walker Enchantment is a NeoForge boot enchantment that lets a player sprint across lava, with the lava hardening under the feet as they step.
What it does
A rare treasure-tier enchantment on boots lets the wearer walk over lava. Each step turns the lava underfoot into a solid block, so a path forms across a lava lake or ocean and the player can sprint straight across. The effect works in a similar way to the Frost Walker enchantment does with water turning to ice.
The enchantment is treasure-tier, so it cannot be applied at a standard enchanting table. It is found in the world instead, which makes it a reward for exploring structures such as Nether Fortresses, Bastion Remnants and Ruined Portals. Several other generated structures are also listed as places to look, including Woodland Mansions and Ancient Cities.
The hardened lava becomes a block that stays in the world permanently, so a route built across the Nether remains usable on later trips. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single release, 1.0.0, for 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
