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
