Carbonize
by jmb05
Carbonize changes how fire treats wood and containers, turning burning logs and planks into charcoal ash in Minecraft Java Edition.
What it does
With Carbonize, burning wood no longer just disappears in a puff of smoke. Burned logs and planks leave charcoal behind as ash, and a burning wood block can turn into its charcoal variant. The mod adds Charcoal Logs and Planks, along with matching slabs and stairs, so the charcoal material can be used in builds. More blocks become flammable, flammable containers are disabled by default, and the range of fire spread can be toggled in the config.
Fire in the mod also lasts longer. Players who fall while burning can stay on fire rather than having it end on landing. Carbonize requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) on Fabric 1.20.6, where the latest file is 20.6.0 published on 2024-05-20. It is installed on the client and the server, which both need it. Mod Menu is optional and only adds a settings screen for the config. The mod is open source under the MIT License and has files for 1.20.1 and 1.20.6.
