📖 Overview

Lava Rising is a dynamic Fabric mod (MC 1.21.5) that introduces volcanic eruptions and a rising lava flood. It allows you to:

• Generate craters and volcanoes within a selected radius,
• Raise lava from a start Y-level (lavaStartY) to an end Y-level (lavaEndY),
• Support Hold (pause at peak) and Retreat (lava recedes) phases,
• Protect builds — no placing blocks above lava or outside the effect area
• Survival mode: volcanoes spawn first, followed by a countdown and the lava rise.

• LavaFlowManager.clearLayerWithQueue now supports both ring-less and ring-preserving modes based on the cleanWithoutRing setting.

💬 Commands

/lavarise debug

/lavarise start
Immediately spawns craters/volcanoes (if enabled) and begins the lava-rise countdown.

/lavarise stop
