Kairo's Fire Customizer
by DevKairo
Kairo's Fire Customizer changes how fire is drawn on screen and in the world, letting players adjust or hide the flames they see while burning.
What it does
The mod splits its settings into two tabs, First Person Fire and Ground Fire. The first controls the flames shown over the camera when the player is burning, including their height, their opacity from 10% to 100%, and their vertical position on screen. The second controls the fire that burns on blocks, where the flames can be shrunk down to 10% of their height, faded, or hidden entirely, and where the smoke particles fire gives off can be removed.
Every option can be reset on its own, and each setting carries a tooltip. Ground fire changes apply automatically with a quick resource reload, and the configuration opens through Mod Menu or the Open Fire Settings key found under Options and Controls. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's installation needs it. Installation requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API, and files cover 1.21.9 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
First-person flame control
Flames over the camera can be made taller or shorter, moved up or down, and made more or less visible.
Ground fire adjustments
Fire on blocks can be shrunk, faded, hidden, or stripped of its smoke particles.
Per-setting reset
Each option resets individually, and every setting has a tooltip that explains it.
Live ground fire updates
Ground fire changes apply after a quick automatic resource reload, without restarting the game.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want to change how fire looks in their own client, including those who find the flames over the screen or the smoke on blocks distracting.
How it compares
Smaller Maps is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 – 26.2 under the MIT License, not open source, and it changes map sizing rather than fire. Unobtrusive Effects is also client-side only on Fabric for 1.21.4 – 26.3 and is open source under the MIT License, covering a wider set of visual effects. Party Flames (Dyeable Fire) is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.3 that runs on client and server under a custom license, so servers must install it too. Kairo's Fire Customizer is the one here limited to fire appearance, and it is client-side only.

What the author says
Lower it, fade it, shrink it, or hide it entirely, both the flames on your screen and the fire burning in the world. Everything is 100% client-side and render only. Open the configuration through Mod Menu, or bind the Open Fire Settings key in Options → Controls.
