Cinderwood
Cinderwood, a NeoForge world generation mod for 1.21.1, changes how fire spreads through wood and converts burnt wood into a full block set.
What it does
Fire no longer destroys wood outright. Instead, burning wood turns into burnt variants, and the mod adds a complete set of burnt wood blocks for building. Burnt saplings, charcoal drops and natural instant growth are included, and the crafting recipes cover the whole wood set. Only the client and the server need it, and both must run it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Burnt wood block set
A full set of burnt wood blocks is added, covering the wood types needed for building and decoration.
Fire converts wood
Fire turns wood into burnt variants rather than destroying it, which changes how fires spread through forests.
Burnt saplings and charcoal
Burnt saplings grow instantly in their natural form, and charcoal drops come from burnt wood.

What the author says
A standalone mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge) A stripped down port of the burnt wood system from the Sleepwalk mod. No spells, no entities, no weather. Just fire, charcoal, and a full burnt wood set. This mod is a special request from a friend but I figured I would release it to the public too.
