# CinderStride \u2013 Walk on Lava<\/p>\n

> **Walk on lava in Minecraft.**
\n> A vanilla friendly mod that adds lava walking boots, similar to Frost Walker but for the Nether.<\/p>\n

Hidden in Bastions is a relic that lets you cross lava oceans like they\u2019re solid ground.<\/p>\n

> Works great with HearthGuard. HearthFires get stronger and mobs really don\u2019t like them.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## 1.1.0 Update<\/p>\n

This update adds a full upgrade path and a few survival improvements that make the boots feel a lot better to use long term.<\/p>\n

* Upgradeable boots
\n * No durability loss while walking on lava
\n* Magma block protection
\n * You can walk on magma without taking damage
\n* Lava fall safety
\n * Falling into lava creates a temporary basalt platform under you
\n * You still take fall damage, this just saves you from the lava
\n* HearthFire
\n * Use a Cinder Core on a campfire to upgrade it<\/p>\n

Early on the boots feel risky. Later on they become something you can rely on.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Features<\/p>\n

* Walk across lava without bridges or fire resistance
\n* Lava turns into temporary basalt under your feet
\n* The path collapses behind you if you stop moving
\n* Designed to encourage exploration of Bastions by adding rewards
\n* Campfires can be upgraded into HearthFires<\/p>\n

## HearthFire<\/p>\n

* Right-click a campfire with a Cinder Core to turn it into a HearthFire
\n* Has stronger visuals and burns hotter
\n* Cooks food twice as fast
\n* Works with HearthGuard
\n * Mobs are pushed back even harder<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## CinderStride Boots<\/p>\n

* Found in Bastion Treasure Rooms
\n* Displayed on an item frame, similar to Elytra
\n* Turn lava into temporary basalt as you walk
\n* Basalt slowly turns back into lava
\n* Standing still too long can leave you stranded
\n* Uses durability while walking on lava
\n* Won\u2019t break completely, but can become unusable until repaired
\n* Can be enchanted. Mending and Unbreaking help a lot<\/p>\n

You are meant to keep moving.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Repairing the Boots<\/p>\n

\n* Or use Cinder Shards for double the effect<\/p>\n
