SmoothFlint — Flint & Steel, but smarter

A vanilla-friendly Flint & Steel overhaul with sensible ignite rules and a simple config.

🔥 What this mod changes

• Flint and Steel on an entity can ignite that entity (configurable).
• Special cases / vanilla safety:
• Item drops (ItemEntity) cannot be ignited.

• Water rule: living mobs in water don’t ignite (prevents underwater cheese).
• Works on non-living entities too (boats, wind charges, etc.) if the target can be set on fire.
• Using Flint & Steel on small plants (grass/flowers-like blocks) removes the plant and replaces it with fire immediately.
• A burning Breeze extinguishes itself after 20 ticks (1 second).
• 💥 Burning Wind Charges can ignite an area (optional)
• If a Wind Charge is burning (has fire ticks), its explosion can: ignite nearby living entities, place small patches of fire around the impact (Disabled by default for balance / vanilla-friendliness).
• 👀 Hostile + neutral mobs react like you “attacked” them
• Igniting a mob with Flint & Steel can make: hostile mobs target you, neutral mobs (e.g. Iron Golem) become angry like after a normal hit (Optional and fully configurable).
• 🟣 Enderman fire panic + extinguish chance
• A burning Enderman enters “panic mode” and]tries to teleport every 40 ticks until it stops burning. (configurable)
