Blazing Embers
by Awakey
Coal, lignite and anthracite fuels are added by Blazing Embers, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that also brings new items and cooking changes.
What it does
Blazing Embers adds three unique coals to the world. Bituminous coal is the common one, lignite is rarer, and anthracite sits deep in the Nether and is the hardest to find. Each one burns for a different length of time as fuel, so a player can choose between a quick burn and a longer one.
The mod is aimed at survival players who want more reasons to explore caves and the Nether, and at anyone who cooks, smelts or crafts often. It runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It requires Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric only, with 0.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest version, dated 2023-11-22.
The license is the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the project is not open source. The issue tracker is the public place to report problems.
Key features
Three new coals
Bituminous, lignite and anthracite coal are each added as separate fuel items with their own burn times.
Rare anthracite
Anthracite is found only in the Nether, so players have to search for it and it is kept as a rare drop.
Cooking and smelting
The coals change how smelting and cooking work, so fuel choice affects how long a furnace stays lit.
Mob encounters
Fiery coal items shift how mobs react to players who carry them, adding a small combat element.
