Small Ships: Lava Sailing is an addon for Small Ships 2.0 which allows ships built with Crimson or Warped planks to sail in lava in "ultrawarm" dimensions (like the Nether).
Currently there is no configuration.
Nether wood ships can sail in lava in the Nether (and any other dimension that has an "ultrawarm" dimension type).
Crimson and Warped ships can be built at the Dockyard in ultrawarm dimensions and will be placed in lava as if it was water.
Ships built from overworld planks will sink in lava and burn. (They can't be built in the Dockyard in ultrawarm dimensions, but if they are placed as an item…)
