CinderStride – Walk on Lava
Walk on lava in Minecraft.
A vanilla friendly mod that adds lava walking boots, similar to Frost Walker but for the Nether.
Hidden in Bastions is a relic that lets you cross lava oceans like they’re solid ground.
Works great with HearthGuard. HearthFires get stronger and mobs really don’t like them.
1.1.0 Update
This update adds a full upgrade path and a few survival improvements that make the boots feel a lot better to use long term.
- Upgradeable boots
- No durability loss while walking on lava
- Magma block protection
- You can walk on magma without taking damage
- Lava fall safety
- Falling into lava creates a temporary basalt platform under you
- You still take fall damage, this just saves you from the lava
- HearthFire
- Use a Cinder Core on a campfire to upgrade it
Early on the boots feel risky. Later on they become something you can rely on.
Features
- Walk across lava without bridges or fire resistance
- Lava turns into temporary basalt under your feet
- The path collapses behind you if you stop moving
- Designed to encourage exploration of Bastions by adding rewards
- Campfires can be upgraded into HearthFires
Walking on Lava
Falling into a lava lake
HearthFire
- Right-click a campfire with a Cinder Core to turn it into a HearthFire
- Has stronger visuals and burns hotter
- Cooks food twice as fast
- Works with HearthGuard
- Mobs are pushed back even harder
CinderStride Boots
- Found in Bastion Treasure Rooms
- Displayed on an item frame, similar to Elytra
- Turn lava into temporary basalt as you walk
- Basalt slowly turns back into lava
- Standing still too long can leave you stranded
- Uses durability while walking on lava
- Won’t break completely, but can become unusable until repaired
- Can be enchanted. Mending and Unbreaking help a lot
You are meant to keep moving.
Repairing the Boots
- Repair with Netherite Ingots
- Or use Cinder Shards for double the effect
