Contagious Fire
by Payangar
Contagious Fire lets a burning mob set nearby mobs alight, and mobs learn to keep their distance from anything already on fire.
What it does
Fire moves from one entity to the next on contact, so a single burning creature can start a chain through a crowd. Mobs react to the flames by staying clear of burning entities, and a creature that catches fire tends to scatter away from the pack instead of igniting it. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 26.2 only.

What the author says
Fire no longer stays put. When a burning entity touches another, the flames spread, and a single spark can race through a whole crowd. Mobs have learned to fear it. Any creature that can catch fire now keeps away from anything already ablaze, so one burning mob scatters the pack instead of setting it alight.
