Burning Block TFC
by Gourmandd
Burning Block TFC is a compatibility mod that makes fire behave more believably in TerraFirmaCraft worlds, with recipes and ash piles tied to lumber and wood ash.
What it does
The mod sits on top of Burning Block and TerraFirmaCraft. It changes how fire leaves its marks, so burned ground and fire spread follow the TerraFirmaCraft rules, and recipes that once used plain wood now take lumber. Ash piles drop wood ash, which TerraFirmaCraft uses in its own crafting chains.
Its block conversions are driven by block tags and NeoForge data maps, which lets modpack makers and datapack authors adjust what burns and what it turns into without editing code. Datapack support is part of the design, and a basic wiki is linked from the project page.
Installation requires Burning Block, Moonlight Lib and TerraFirmaCraft alongside this mod. Burning Block TFC is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, as version 1.0.0, released on 2025-11-20, and runs on client and server. The source code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Believable fire spread
Fire leaves ground and blocks in states that match TerraFirmaCraft's own fire mechanics.
Lumber-based recipes
Recipes that previously used plain wood are changed to require lumber, matching the TerraFirmaCraft material chain.
Wood ash from ash piles
Ash piles drop wood ash, a TerraFirmaCraft material, so burning produces a usable result.
Data map block conversions
Block conversions are set through NeoForge data maps, which datapacks can override.

Use cases
Modpack tuning
Modpack makers can change which blocks burn and what they become through tags and data maps, without touching the mod code.
Datapack customization
Datapack authors can add their own block conversions, since the mod exposes them through standard NeoForge data maps.
Who it’s for: TerraFirmaCraft players who want fire and wood processing to fit that mod's economy, and modpack or datapack authors who build on it.
