Don't Burn My Stuff
by DaFuqs
Don't Burn My Stuff makes items enchanted with Fire Protection resist fire and lava, so they no longer burn the way netherite does.
What it does
The mod lets Fire Protection be applied to ordinary items through an enchantment change, so gear, tools and other stacks can survive fire, lava and other high heat sources. Only the fire-related effect is added; Fire Protection stays mutually exclusive with the other Protection enchantments, so an item still takes one of them at a time.
Two further changes are listed in the author notes: shears can harvest saplings and dirt, and the enchantment is tuned to be more useful overall. The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt, across 17 release versions 1.16.5 – 1.21.8, with files for each release listed in the catalog. Installing it requires Cloth Config API on either loader.
A server must run the mod for the protection to apply, while players may join without it, so the client side is optional. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to the source, the issue tracker and the wiki.
Key features
Fire Protection on items
Fire Protection can be applied to items, so enchanted gear resists fire and lava damage.
Shears for saplings and dirt
Shears can be used on saplings and dirt, adding a small extra interaction to the tool.
Still mutually exclusive
Fire Protection remains exclusive with the other Protection enchantments, so choosing one still matters.

Use cases
Protecting valuable gear
