🌋 Lava Rises Ultimate
Lava Rises Ultimate turns Minecraft into a complete, customizable Lava Rises minigame.
Instead of needing command blocks, datapacks, or manually rebuilding an arena after every game, the mod handles the entire challenge for you.
Configure everything from the in-game menu with:
/rising lava
Set up the arena, start the round, and see which player or team can survive the longest.
🌋 Fully Configurable Rising Lava
Control exactly how the lava behaves.
You can change:
Starting lava height
Blocks risen each time
Time between rises
Grace period
Build-height limit
Arena size
Multiple lava stages
Sudden Death settings
For example:
1 block every 60 seconds
or
5 blocks every 30 seconds
The arena can range from 100×100 up to 500×500 blocks.
🔥 Lava Stages
The lava doesn't have to rise at the same speed for the entire match.
Create multiple stages that become increasingly difficult.
Example:
Stage 1
1 block every 60 seconds
Stage 2
2 blocks every 45 seconds
Stage 3
5 blocks every 30 seconds
This makes longer rounds progressively more intense.
☠️ Sudden Death
Enable an optional Sudden Death phase.
After a configurable amount of time, the lava can begin rising much faster.
This prevents extremely long matches and forces players out of overly safe strategies.
⏳ Grace Period
Give players time to gather resources before the lava begins.
Choose exactly how long the Grace Period lasts.
Players receive a countdown before the challenge starts:

LAVA IS RISING!
👥 Team System
Players can automatically be placed onto teams.
Available teams include:
🔴 Red Team
🔵 Blue Team
🟢 Green Team
🟡 Yellow Team
Team assignments remain after restarting rounds.
Players can also have their team color displayed in their names and other game information.
🏆 Team Wins
The round can continue until only one team has surviving players.
When the round finishes, everyone is switched to Spectator mode and the winning team is announced.
Example:
GREEN TEAM WON
The surviving players are displayed underneath.
❤️ Lives System
Choose how many lives each player gets.
You can run:
1-life elimination games
2-life games
3-life games
Larger multi-life matches
When somebody runs out of lives, they're eliminated and moved into Spectator mode.
💀 Death Tracking
Every player's deaths are tracked automatically.
The sidebar can display information such as:
PlayerName D:2 W:3 L:1
Where:
D = Deaths
W = Wins
L = Lives remaining
🏆 Player Wins
Winning rounds increases the player's win count.
Statistics remain between rounds, allowing groups or servers to run longer competitions.
⏱️ Survival Records
The mod tracks how long players survive.
Players can have a best survival time that stays between rounds.
This makes it possible to compete for both wins and survival records.
📊 Live Scoreboard
A live sidebar keeps players updated throughout the game.
Depending on the number of players, it can display:
Player deaths
Player wins
Lives remaining
Best survival time
Current round
Round timer
Grace Period
Current game phase
Lava Y level
Border size
Rise amount
Rise interval
Build-height limit

Every round can take place somewhere new.
Press RESET ROUND and the mod can automatically select another area of the Overworld.
It then:
Moves the world border
Teleports all players
Clears inventories
Restores health
Restores hunger
Returns players to Survival
Resets lives
Resets eliminations
Prepares the next round
The lava does not automatically restart.
Everyone can prepare first, then an admin presses START LAVA.
🌲 Better Arena Selection
Random arenas can attempt to avoid bad locations such as huge oceans or unsuitable terrain.
Biome preferences can also be used for different styles of games.
Examples include:
Any land biome
Plains
Forest
Desert
Random biome
🗺️ Arena Preview
When a new arena is generated, players can receive useful information such as:
NEW ARENA
Biome: Plains

Grace: 5:00
📦 Starting Kits
Choose what players receive when a new round begins.
Possible kit styles include:
No Kit
Basic Kit
Iron Kit
Random Kit
Custom Kit
This makes the mod useful for both survival-style games and faster competitive matches.
🎁 Supply Drops
Optional supply drops can appear during a match.
Players may have to leave their towers or bases to compete for valuable items.
Supply drops can contain things such as:
Food
Blocks
Tools
Armor
Survival equipment
Valuable resources
⚔️ PvP Settings
PvP can be controlled directly through the minigame settings.
Choose whether PvP is:
Always enabled
Completely disabled
Disabled during Grace Period
Enabled once the lava starts
🛡️ Friendly Fire
Playing teams?
Choose whether teammates can damage each other.
Friendly Fire can be independently turned ON or OFF.
🧱 Build Height Limit
Prevent players from simply towering endlessly into the sky.
Set the maximum Y level where players are allowed to place blocks.
This creates much more competitive matches as the lava approaches the build limit.
🚫 Block Restrictions
Certain blocks can be restricted from being placed during a match.
This can help prevent strategies involving extremely strong or nearly indestructible blocks.
👁️ Spectator System
Once players are eliminated, they're automatically switched into Spectator mode.
Spectators can watch the remaining competitors without interfering with the match.
A spectator interface can make it easier to switch between surviving players.
💀 Custom Elimination Messages
Deaths during the challenge can produce custom elimination announcements.
Players can immediately see who was eliminated and how many competitors remain.
🏁 End-of-Round Results
When the round finishes, the mod displays the results.
