Dyed Flames
by Fuzs
With Dyed Flames installed, burning mobs and blocks show flames that match their source, such as blue soul fire, and the mod is required on both client and server.
What it does
The mod changes the color and particles of fire on burning mobs, and of fire blocks in the world. Blue soul fire shows blue flames, and fire from other mods or fluids can be given its own color. Burning mobs also emit colored smoke trails and matching flame particles while they panic or pose. The mod has no effect on gameplay.
Custom fire types are defined in data: a few lines of JSON placed in a block data map entry keyed to dyedflames:fire types are enough to add one, with no code changes. Dyed Flames needs Fabric API and Forge Config API Port on Fabric, and Puzzles Lib on Fabric and NeoForge. Dyed Flames Modded Compat builds on it. The mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, is open source, and runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.3, with 13 release versions in total.
Key features
Source-matching flames
Burning entities and fire blocks take on the color of the fire source, so soul fire looks different from ordinary fire.
Colored smoke and particles
Burning mobs emit colored smoke trails and flame particles that match their flame while they panic or pose.
Data-driven fire types
New fire types are added through a JSON block data map entry, so custom fire needs no hardcoded changes.
In-game configuration
Where a config is available, its settings can be changed from the in-game mod menu, and manual edits use the TOML files in the config folder.

Who it’s for: Players who want differently colored fire in their worlds, and server owners whose modpacks add custom fire types that should look distinct.
