Why?
Why? changes how lava works in a Fabric world, letting players drink lava from a charred bowl and use it as furnace fuel.
What it does
Players can obtain a charred bowl that holds lava soup, a drink made from lava. The charred bowl cannot be used for anything else, and it serves as furnace fuel. The mod is for cursed and experimental worlds, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source for 1.19.4.
