Fired
by ShiroJR
Fired is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds fire-related quality-of-life features built around campfires, candles and torches.
What it does
Sticks can be lit in a campfire, and lit campfires then light up torches and candles nearby. The fire system also introduces hot items that burn anyone who carries them without protection in the inventory, so players need to plan how they handle heated materials. A new glove item is added to the game as well, and it can be given its own entries through item tags.
Behaviour is controlled through the mod's config, gamerules, tags and custom datapack entries, so server owners and pack makers can adjust which features apply and how they behave. The mod is available only for 1.20.1 and covers Fabric. Fired runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Lighting from campfires
Lit campfires ignite nearby torches and candles, so a camp can light its surroundings without a flint and steel for each block.
Hot items
Heated items burn a player who keeps them in the inventory unless protection is present, adding a risk to carrying fire-related loot.
Glove item
A new glove item is added, and modders or pack makers can add their own entries to it using item tags.
Datapack control
Gamerules, tags and custom datapack entries let server owners adjust the fire features to fit their world.

How it compares
Campfire Fix is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 with server-required, client-optional behaviour, and it is not open source. Sticks to Torches is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that is server-side only and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not cover the 1.20.1 build of Fired. Torches 'n' Trinkets is Fabric-only for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, client and server, MIT licensed and open source.
