About this mod

Adds monsters that spawn in lava.
🔥 Summary
If you’ve ever found yourself bored once you mine down to lava because it stops hostile mobs from spawning, then this is the mod for you! This is a small mod that adds a new hostile monster to the game that spawns in lava and spits fireballs at you. Lava monsters’ spawning conditions can be adjusted in a handy-dandy properties file!

🤷 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use this in my modpack?
Yes, you definitely can. Just make to provide credit to all the authors respectively and link back to the CurseForge page.
Can I redistribute this mod onto other platforms?
Yes, as long as all downloads point directly to our CurseForge page and proper credit is given to the authors.
Will you port to older versions?
We focus on the latest "drop" release of each year (26.1, 27.1, 28.1, etc.), and unfortunately we don't have the time to backport. Older versions remain available to play, but aren't supported. The source is open for reporting bugs and reviewing the code, but we don't accept backports, contributions, or third-party redistribution of our work.
