Fire Bending

This is a Fabric Minecraft server-side mod that allows server administrators to control with more detail the behaviour of fire ticking.

Fire Sources

Fire blocks produced by different sources are now their own fire blocks. The mod adds new gamerules that let you configure the fire tick delay of each fire source individually:

• /gamerule lightningFireTickDelay <integer-argument>
• /gamerule lavaFireTickDelay <integer-argument>
• /gamerule flintAndSteelFireTickDelay <integer-argument>
• /gamerule explosionFireTickDelay <integer-argument>
• /gamerule fireChargeFireTickDelay <integer-argument>

The integer argument supplied to the gamerule, will modify the fire tick delay of the corresponding fire source, using the formula tickDelay = argument + RandomNumber(0, 10). Additionally, setting this value to -1 disables fire ticking for that fire source. All of these gamerules have the default value of 30.

Tick fire based on nearby players

Furthermore, the mod adds two new gamerules:

• /gamerule doTickFireOnlyWhenPlayerNearby <boolean-argument>: This gamerule toggles whether fire blocks should tick only when a player is within a certain user-configurable distance and fire ticking is enabled for the source of the fire. This is false by default.
• /gamerule tickFireWhenPlayerNearbyDistance <integer-argument> This gamerule sets the distance at which a player has to be in order for fire to tick, if the doTickFireOnlyWhenPlayerNearby gamerule is enabled. This is 30 by default, and the minimum value is 1.

Flammable blocks blacklist

Finally, the mod offers a configuration file, found at ./config/fire-bender-config.json, where the user can configure a list for blocks that shouldn't be flammable. You can add block identifier entries to the flammable_blocks_blacklist array, and then reload the config using the command /fire-bender reload_config.

{
  "flammable_blocks_blacklist": [
    "minecraft:my_block",
    "modid:other_block"
  ]
}
