Ignition

by Mrbysco

Ignition makes torches and campfires set fire to nearby flammable blocks, so players have to plan where they place them.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.1

What it does

Once Ignition is installed, a placed torch or campfire can ignite flammable blocks next to it. The effect is meant to make fire a real hazard during building, so players think about placement before lighting a torch. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, across 20 release versions 1.18.2 – 26.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Fire from torches

    Torches that are placed set fire to flammable blocks in their vicinity, which changes how wooden builds are laid out.

  2. Fire from campfires

    Campfires ignite nearby flammable blocks in the same way, so they are not safe to place beside wood.

  3. Lesson for careless placement

    The fire effect pushes players to think about where light sources go, with the aim of preventing forests from burning down by accident.
