About this Mod
Lava Boat Clutch Fix
Restores the classic lava boat clutch mechanic which was removed in Minecraft 1.21.5.
In Minecraft 1.21.5, Mojang fixed the bug that allowed boats to briefly survive on lava — the mechanic behind the legendary lava boat clutch (famously used by Dream in Manhunt).
This mod restores it. When a boat first touches lava, it receives a short immunity window so the player can land on the hitbox and survive the fall — exactly like in older versions.
Now you can do lava boat clutches in modern Minecraft!
✨ Features
Lava immunity — boats survive on lava for a configurable number of ticks (default: 3)
Fire damage protection — no fire damage to the boat during the immunity window
Item drop bounce — the dropped boat item bounces out of the lava so it doesn't burn (default: vanilla)
No fire flicker — fire particles are suppressed on the client for the first 4 ticks, eliminating visual glitches- ⚙️ Fully configurable — adjust everything via the in-game config screen (requires Cloth Config + Mod Menu)
Toggle on/off — disable the mod at any time without removing it (default: on)
Also, this mod supports a lot of languages!
