This (was) the second mod I ever made. At the time, I figured it couldn't possibly be that difficult to make fire a bit more interesting.

Oh how wrong I was.

To make a long story short, the latest version of this mod took several days longer then I expected to get working, but the main point is that it, (unlike the previous version), actually works! The list of bugfixes wound up being more than two pages, which, at the very least, implies I learned a thing or two about modding since I last worked on this.



THIS MOD DOES THE FOLLOWING:

• Makes fire based on random ticks. This means fire will spread slower, but will be much less performance heavy, especially with particles disabled.
• Changes how fire spreads; some blocks can be transformed into different variants by fire, and some blocks, (such as grass), can now spread fire, allowing for much larger blazes.
• Adds ash and charred wood materials, which are created when flammable blocks are burnt. This unique wood set breaks easily when exposed to water, and adds more atmosphere to burnt out places.
• Adds griefers, a crispy version of a creeper, which runs around making a mess and lighting things on fire in self-defense.
• Improves upon the Wither fight with cool effects and an overabundance of soul sand.
• Adds flowering grass, which spreads new plants in barren areas based on the biome and surroundings; this allows burnt out areas to gradually grow back without player intervention.
• Makes a bunch of other miscellaneous tweaks to fire, and everything related to fire.

DISCLAIMERS

• Yes, I am aware the fire spreads slower than Vanilla fire. This is an intentional gameplay mechanic, and is counterbalanced by fire spreading more aggressively if allowed to go unchecked.
• This mod makes creepers explode when lit on fire. If you have a mob farm involving campfires or the like, make sure to disable or modify the farm before downloading this mod!
• If you are having performance issues, it's most likely particles overloading the game. This usually won't be an issue unless you start a really big fire though.
