bad smokes
by compfr
Bad Smokes lets a player light cigarettes and cigars with a lighter, hold them in the offhand and smoke them in the game world.
What it does
Cigarettes and cigars are items in the mod, and a lighter is used with them to start smoking. Once lit, the player holds the smoke item in the offhand and the lighter stays in the main hand. Smoke particles come out of the player's mouth, and the first-person and third-person views each have a smoking animation.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.16.5 and needs to be installed on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The author notes that cigarettes and cigars behave differently, and that work on the third-person animation was still in progress in the first release. Bad Smokes is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
The first version was published on 2026-05-03 and the latest file, 2.0.0, was published on 2026-08-20 for 1.16.5. Other loader builds of the same mod were discontinued for 1.16.5, and the author states that later Minecraft versions were worked on only after this update.
