Lava Detector

Overview

The Lava Detector Mod is a lightweight, client-side utility designed to increase player safety and awareness, particularly when mining deep underground, exploring the Nether, or traversing dangerous caves. It provides real-time, visual feedback showing the exact distance to the nearest lava source, allowing you to react quickly and avoid tragic mining accidents.

Features

Real-Time Detection: The mod continuously scans the area around the player, checking every block for stationary or flowing lava.

Proximity Warning: The HUD warning only appears when the player is 20 blocks or closer to the nearest lava source, preventing screen clutter when traveling in safe areas.

Dynamic Color Coding: The warning text changes color based on proximity:

• Yellow/Orange: Lava is detected, but not immediately close (safe distance).
• Red: Lava is dangerously close (e.g., within 5 blocks), indicating immediate risk.

Full Dimensional Support: Works perfectly in the Overworld, the Nether (where lava is abundant), and the End.

Client-Side Only: This mod does not need to be installed on a server; it works purely on your computer.

⚙️ Configuration (To be added)

_Future versions will include a configuration file to adjust the Detection Radius (default is 20 blocks) and the position of the HUD display._
