NoLavaCast

by SilverAndro

NoLavaCast stops lava from being placed on lava in Fabric servers, which blocks the lava casting trick used to build cobblestone generators.

FabricServer-side onlyMozilla Public License 2.0Open source1.14 – 1.21.4

What it does

Lava casting works by pouring lava onto lava to create a source block that makes cobblestone. The mod keeps that placement from happening on a server running it, so the trick no longer works there. Fabric API is required, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is published for Fabric across 27 release versions, 1.14 – 1.21.4.

Key features

  1. Blocks lava casting

    Placing lava onto lava is prevented on the server, so the cast cannot be made.

  2. Protects cobble generators

    Farms built on the trick, which can damage a server's balance, are stopped at the source.

  3. Server-only install

    Only the server runs the mod, and clients need nothing extra installed.

What the author says

Prevents lava casting to the point where its difficult to cause any real damage with it Also tries to not break cobble gens but they may become inconsistent, so high performance ones shouldn't be relied on
