Camp Fires Cook Mobs
Camp Fires Cook Mobs makes a mob that dies on a lit campfire drop cooked meat instead of raw meat, and it adds a separate rule for soul campfires.
What it does
Normally a campfire cooks only the food a player places on it. With Camp Fires Cook Mobs installed, a mob killed while standing over a standard campfire or a soul campfire drops cooked meat in place of the raw version. The camp fire itself keeps its vanilla role, so food placement works as before. Standard campfires burn items thrown into them, and soul campfires do the same, each with its own damage value. Frostwalker protects players from both kinds of fire, and the mod treats soul campfires as their own block tag, so other mods that add campfire types can be sorted into either group.
The mod is server required and client optional. A server running it lets players join without installing anything, and players who add it get the on-screen fire overlay. It works on a server in single player too. Fabric API is required, and the optional MidnightLib and Mod Menu entries are not needed to run it. When Cloth Config is missing, the mod falls back to its default option values, and Cloth Config together with Mod Menu provides the settings screen, though neither one is mandatory. Camp Fires Cook Mobs is released under the MIT License and is open source, so anyone may port it. Files exist for 1.17 – 26.3 on Fabric and Quilt only, with 1.11.0+MC26.3.x as the latest build.
