Campfire Backport
by connor135246
Campfire Backport brings the campfires and soul campfires of later Minecraft versions back to 1.7.10, letting players cook food on them and light them in several ways.
What it does
Right-clicking a campfire with a food item places that item on the fire, where it cooks and then pops off after 30 seconds. A campfire holds up to four items at once. Placing hay under a lit campfire turns it into a signal fire with taller smoke particles. Stepping onto a lit campfire hurts mobs, and soul campfires hurt them more. Destroying a regular campfire without a silk touch tool yields charcoal, while destroying a soul campfire that way yields soul sand instead of soul soil.
Campfires can be extinguished and lit in several ways: a shovel or a water bucket used on a dispenser, a splash potion, flint and steel, a fire charge, a left click with a Fire Aspect enchanted item, stepping in fire, or hits from a fire arrow or a small fireball. Campfire Backport is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.7.10, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Many settings let modpack makers decide whether regular campfires, soul campfires, both or neither are affected. Campfire recipes and the extinguisher and igniter items appear in NEI, and a usages hotkey can display them for the campfire item. Campfires also show cooking progress on the items they hold, and lit campfires can be extinguished or ignited with wands that use vis.
Key features

Food placed on a campfire cooks for 30 seconds and then pops off, with room for four items per fire.
