Embers of Rest
by copen
Embers of Rest lets players rest beside a campfire, crouching within two blocks of it to warm up and slowly recover health.
What it does
Standing near a campfire and crouching starts a warm-up period. Health only begins to return after that short wait ends, so the campfire works as a pause in survival rather than an instant heal. Both the default campfire and the soul campfire can be used, and placing either one is enough to create a rest point.
Healing depends on hunger, so a player needs food for the regeneration to take effect. Night and rain change how well the fire works, reducing its efficiency in bad weather and at darker hours. Sound effects accompany the rest, and the whole system is meant to sit alongside vanilla gameplay without replacing it. Embers of Rest is open source under the MIT License and runs on the Fabric loader for 1.21.1.
The mod is a single Fabric build for 1.21.1, and it needs Fabric API to load. Since it runs on client and server, the server and every player need it installed.
Key features
Crouch-based resting
Crouching within a two block radius of a campfire starts the rest, keeping the action tied to a clear position.
Gradual warm-up
Passive regeneration begins only after a warm-up stage, so healing near a fire takes a short, visible delay.
Weather and night effects
Night and rain change the efficiency of the fire, which makes the healing feel tied to the environment.
Hunger requirement
Regeneration draws on the hunger bar, so a player with empty food cannot heal through the campfire alone.
Compatibility

Use cases
Survival pacing
Players who want campfires to act as short breaks between tasks can use the warm-up and hunger rules to slow recovery down.
Who it’s for: Players of survival worlds who want a campfire to matter more than a simple place to cook, and server owners who want a light resting mechanic on a vanilla-based setup.
How it compares
Campfires Respect the Recipe Book is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.5, so it reaches further back than this mod. Campfire Buff is server-side only, uses All rights reserved, and is published for 1.21.10, so players join without installing it but it is not open source. Campfire XP is server-side only and open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, with files for a wider range of later versions.
