Running a Trial

• During a run, your Meadow Compass tracks how much meadow heat you've collected.
• You need 12 meadow heat to complete a trial.
• Standing on Lava Meadow Turf accelerates heat gain — stay in the biome!
• Completing a trial rewards Ember Petals and Cooling Nectar.

Cooling Nectar

Drink Cooling Nectar to gain temporary fire resistance — handy when venturing into warm or dangerous areas. It stacks up to 16 per slot.

Crafting And Obtaining

Ember Petals

Break Ember Bloom plants found naturally throughout the Lava Meadows biome. They are instant-break plants, so no tool is needed.

Meadow Compass

Surround a Compass with Ember Petals:

Cooling Nectar

Combine a Honey Bottle, a Snowball, and an Ember Petal:

Lava Meadow Turf

Craft it from Dirt, a Grass Block, and an Ember Petal (yields 4):

Tip: Lava Meadow Turf also drops directly when mined with a shovel, so you can collect it from the biome naturally.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Meadow Compass — A unique single-stack item that actively tracks your heat progress during a /lavameadows start run. Standing on Lava Meadow Turf speeds up the compass's heat accumulation rate.
• Ember Bloom — Emits a soft light (light level 6) and breaks instantly. Always drops itself as a placeable block item, or harvest it for Ember Petals in crafting.
• Lava Meadow Turf — The biome's grass-like surface block. Animals can spawn on it naturally. Mine it with a shovel. Placing it yourself (crafted) lets you build a heat-gain zone anywhere.
• Cooling Nectar — A consumable granting temporary fire resistance. Brewed from honey, snow, and the heat of an Ember Petal — a fitting antidote.

Progression And Strategy

1. First visit — Use /locate biome lava-meadows-omainvmp:lava_meadows and travel to the biome. Gather Ember Blooms to stockpile Ember Petals.
2. Craft your tools — Make a Meadow Compass before starting your first run. Brew some Cooling Nectar for safety.
3. Start a run — Use /lavameadows start while inside or near the biome. Stay on Lava Meadow Turf as much as possible to maximise heat gain speed.
4. Monitor progress — Check /lavameadows status to see your current heat and remaining time.
5. Complete and repeat — Trial rewards give more Ember Petals, letting you craft more Cooling Nectar and keep attempting faster, more efficient runs. Use /lavameadows reset if a run goes wrong and start fresh.
