Infiniminer, back in play
Lavafall brings Infiniminer to modern systems—faithful at its core, free to play, and open for anyone to take further.
01 / Where it began
Infiniminer changed what a multiplayer world could be. The ground was not scenery. It was the route, the defense, the weapon, and the prize.
Zach Barth released the game and its source in 2009. Lavafall starts with that work: rebuilding the original experience for today’s machines before asking where it can go next.
First, make the original whole. Then see what it can become.
02 / How it plays
Find the ore. Carve a way home. Protect the bank. Then turn the same terrain against the other team.
Read the stone, follow your prospector, and find gold and diamonds before they do.
Cut tunnels, lay roads, bridge voids, and build a route only your team understands.
Redirect lava. Set traps. Bring TNT. In this world, map control is literal.
Four ways to work the mine
03 / The terms
There is no storefront here. Lavafall is a community project: free to play, free to host, and licensed under MIT so the code can keep moving.
04 / Get underground
05 / Clients
Native builds for desktop and mobile. Or skip the install and play in your browser.
Windows and macOS may show an unknown-publisher warning. The Android build is debug-signed for sideloading.
Verify SHA-25606 / Servers
Dedicated server builds for every platform, plus a public Docker image for x86_64 and 64-bit ARM.
Docker · Linux amd64 + arm64
Run your own mine anywhere Docker goes. One public image supports x86_64 and 64-bit ARM—including Raspberry Pi 4 and 5—and Docker selects the right build automatically.
