HCG Lava Raise
A minigame plugin where the Lava Raises and Drains everywhere at set times. Addon for HCG plugin.
⬇ Download on ModrinthAddon for HCGplugin, requires the base plugin to be installed.
Lava raise
While enabled, every Minecraft day at the configured world-clock start time, lava rises layer by layer from bedrock up to the configured max Y over the configured travel time; it holds there until the end time, then drains back down over the same travel time.
Implementation notes:
- The lava is a client-side illusion. It's sent as block-change packets, so the clients render real animated lava (fog, swim physics included) while the server world never changes, nothing can burn, flow, or need cleanup.
- Burning is server-side: players at or below the lava level catch fire and take lava-rate damage
(water protects them unless
replace-wateris on). Creative/spectator players are unaffected; mobs burn too ifdamage-mobsis on. - With
burn-placed-blockson (default), burnable blocks that were placed by a player (tracked from placement, persisted across restarts) burn away as the lava passes them. - Packets are paced (
blocks-per-tick, default 40000 positions/tick) and sent for all chunks each player can see (render-radius, default = full view distance). The region is the world border, capped atmax-regionblocks.
Volcano
/volcano setcenter marks the crater at the block you're looking at, then /volcano erupt [seconds] throws debris and particles (with optional screen shake for nearby players). /volcano schedule <time|off> makes it erupt daily at a world-clock time, and /volcano stop calms it immediately.
