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
