Create: Lava Superheating

# Create: Superheated Lava — 2.0  Turn lava into the foundation of automated production. This Create addon adds blue superheated lava, sulfur processing, a Netherite Mechanical Mixer, and renewable production of diamonds and Netherite. ## Superheated Lava Mix regular lava in a basin over a superheated burner: 1000 mB yields 1000 mB of superheated lava. A pie can be used to ignite the Create burner for the first batch. Regular lava maintains the burner's standard heat level, while superheated lava maintains the superheated state. Fuel can be supplied via buckets or the Create fluid system. Fluid consumption and burner burn time are configurable. Blue lava is also used as a standalone ingredient in production recipes. Superheated lava ignites nearby flammable blocks with superheated blue fire. This fire affects entities just like superheated lava and spreads 1.5 times faster than normal fire. Minecraft's `doFireTick` setting, rain mechanics, and flammability rules remain in effect. ## Netherrack and Sulfur 1. Process Cobblestone with 250 mB of regular lava using a Create Spout to obtain Netherrack. 2. Process Netherrack in a Mechanical Mixer: this yields 3–6 pieces of Netherrack and 2 guaranteed pieces of Sulfur. There is a 50% chance for an additional Sulfur piece, and a 25% chance for yet another. 3. Press 4 Sulfur pieces into a single Sulfur block. In a dry basin, there is a 1% chance of an explosion equivalent to standard TNT. Water in the basin completely eliminates this risk. 4. Wash the pressed Sulfur using an airflow through water to obtain Sulfur Powder. 5. Washing the powder a second time yields 3 units of gunpowder, plus an additional unit with a 25% chance. Four pieces of netherrack can be pressed back into a netherrack block. Sulfur powder is required not only for gunpowder but also for advanced recipes involving valuable resources. A piece of sulfur and a zinc ingot combine to form a zinc-sulfur mixture. The dropped mixture is dangerous upon contact with fire or lava: it has an explosion power of 40, compared to 4 for standard TNT. Keep it away from hot areas of the factory. ## Netherite Mechanical Mixer Advanced recipes require a specialized mechanism: - Craft a Diamond Whisk using 5 diamonds and 2 andesite alloys. - Upgrade it at a smithing table using a "Netherite Upgrade" smithing template and a netherite ingot. - Combine the netherite whisk, an andesite casing, and a cogwheel to create the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. ## Diamonds and Netherite The following recipes work only in the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. Each additionally requires **1 sulfur powder, 1000 mB of superheated lava in the basin, and a superheating source underneath**. | Ingredients | Result | | 1 netherite scrap + 1 gold ingot | 1 netherite ingot | | 1 netherite ingot + 1 netherite scrap | 4 netherite ingots | | 2 diamonds | 4 diamonds | A single netherite ingot can be processed into **4 netherite scraps** using a millstone, crushing wheels, or the Netherite Mechanical Mixer. No heat is required for this process. Loop part of the output back to the input and send the surplus to storage; this makes diamonds and netherite renewable. Sulfur powder and lava are still consumed in the process. For the netherite line, set the basin filter to the ingot to prevent the mixer from prematurely processing the input ingot into scrap. ## Other Features - Andesite Alloy: 2 units (heated) or 4 units (superheated) from andesite and an iron or zinc nugget. - Brass: 4 ingots from copper and zinc ingots (superheated). - Crying Obsidian (from obsidian) and Magma Block (from cobblestone): each recipe requires 250 mB of superheated lava and superheating. - Slime Companion (needooh): created by mixing slime and 1000 mB of superheated lava. - A dedicated Create "ponder" category links materials, mechanisms, and recipes. Scenes demonstrate lava and sulfur acquisition, safe pressing, mixer assembly, and conveyor-based production lines. - Separate Creative tab; supports Russian and English. Recipes utilize the Create system; with JEI installed, you can view ingredients and outputs, including sulfur chunk acquisition. ## Additional NeoForge 1.21.1 Integrations [**Create Aeronautics / Simulated:**](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-aeronautics) Portable engines accept regular and superheated lava via bucket interaction or pipes. Regular lava provides standard mode, while superheated lava offers double speed but reduced runtime per fill. Ponder scenes demonstrate both manual and automatic refueling. [**Create Propulsion: Simulated:**](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-propulsion-simulated) Superheated lava serves as rocket fuel with **100%** thrust and a **50%** burn rate. These mods are optional. The engine integrations are for the NeoForge build; they are not required for the main release. ## Installation Select the file that matches your mod loader and Minecraft version: - NeoForge 1.21.1 — Create 6.0.10. - Forge 1.20.1 — Create 6.0.8. - Fabric Minecraft 1.20.1 — Create Fabric 6.0.8.1 and Fabric API. Also, install the required dependencies for the chosen version of Create. For servers, the mod is required on both the server and the client. Do not install the standalone [*Create Liquid Fuel*](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-liquid-fuel) and [*Portable Engine Liquid Fuel*](https://modrinth.com/mod/create-aeronautics-portable-engine-liquid-fuel) mods alongside this one, as their fuel mechanics overlap with this add-on.
