Sky Is Lava

by danZiKr1

Sky Is Lava adds a randomized layer of lava high above the Overworld, Nether and End, where it can reach the player's height and spread across the sky.

What it does

Sky Is Lava places a lava layer in the sky of each supported dimension. The layer's height is random, and a config option sets the maximum depth it can descend to. Lava can tick and start fires, and optional settings control whether it casts shadows and emits light, so the sky can look and behave more like a hazard.

The mod needs Fabric API to run on Fabric. Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional; with both installed, an in-game config screen exposes the depth and lava behavior options. The mod runs on client and server, so servers and every player need it. Files are published only for Fabric, for 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Randomized lava sky

    A lava layer is generated in the sky at a random height, changing how the open sky looks in each world.

  2. Configurable maximum depth

    The lowest point the lava layer can reach is set in the config, so the hazard can be kept high or brought closer to the ground.

  3. Overworld, Nether and End support

    The lava sky applies to all three main dimensions, not only the Overworld.

  4. Optional lava behavior

    Ticking, fire, shadows and light emission from the lava can each be turned on or off, and the in-game config screen lets players adjust them.

Questions

Does Sky Is Lava need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Sky Is Lava on Fabric.

Does the server need Sky Is Lava as well?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Can the lava layer be lowered or made harmless?

The maximum depth is configurable, and ticking, fire, shadows and light emission can each be switched off in the config.

Does Sky Is Lava work on older game versions?

The files cover only 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, so older game versions are not supported by this release.
