Volcano
by Politas180
With Volcano, a command can raise a volcano out of the ground, growing a mountain of basalt that erupts with lava, smoke and magma projectiles.
What it does
A command starts the eruption: terrain rises from the ground, reaching about 100 blocks high and converting dirt and stone into jagged basalt. Once the mountain is at full height, its crater fills with lava and launches smoke and magma projectiles.
Raising a volcano changes thousands of blocks in the surrounding area, so the mod suits large open terrain rather than places with buildings. Explosions near the crater trigger visual effects and can destroy the volcano itself. The mod is set up as an event that a command triggers, and the volcano can be moved back down afterward. Servers should expect a heavy load while a volcano is growing.
Volcano runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and is not open source: its license is All rights reserved.

Volcano lets you watch a volcano rise out of the ground and erupt. The terrain grows up to 100 blocks high, turning dirt and stone into jagged basalt. Once it reaches full height, the crater fills with lava and sends smoke and magma projectiles into the air. Explosions near the crater are visual effects, so the…
