Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

ℹ️ About this awesome sauce mod

Have you ever wanted to make your minecraft worlds deeper but couldn't since all the caves were filled with lava?

Well now you can! This mod lets you configure the hardcoded lava layer at Y level -54 to appear at any other Y level!

Simply put, this mod fixes the MC-237017 bug. I saw a few other mods attempt to tackle this issue, but I couldn't find a mod which made the level actually configurable, so I made my own! if there are any issues lmk in the comments :D

This mod should be compatible with C2ME!

💜 Modpacks, redistribution, etc

The mod has an MIT License, so you can literally do anything you like with it! It's open source, and you are free to modify it however you like, redistribute it, put it in any modpack, etc. You don't have to credit anything, but I'd love to be included if there's any big credits section!
