Blazing Bamboo
by PaddedShaman
With Blazing Bamboo, a fiery bamboo species grows in patches inside the crimson forests of the Nether and can be crafted into blaze rods.
What it does
The mod adds a fire-resistant bamboo type to the Nether's crimson forests, where it generates in uncommon but large patches. Its glow and yellow color make the plants visible from a distance. The plants deal fire damage to anything standing close to them, so a harvest needs some care. Blazing Bamboo can be planted on many stone and dry soils in any dimension, but it dies quickly near water or under rain and snow. Dead plants crumble into gunpowder, so the harvest is not lost.
Harvested bamboo can be turned into blaze rods, and it works as a steady furnace fuel that can be automated. Its fireproof wood is used for lava rafts that cross lava safely. The mod also brings a set of decorative blocks in stone and wood variants, and every block and item resists fire and lava. Blazing Bamboo requires Fabric API on Fabric, and it is open source under the MIT License. It is published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, with the latest files dated 2024-06-03.
