Low Static Fire
by GRIZZLY_DEV
Low Static Fire swaps the animated fire on blocks for a small, bright static flame on the client, and needs Fabric API to run.
What it does
Regular fire is rendered as a three-pixel-tall static flame instead of the animated sprite, which keeps the flame bright and readable while removing the animated fire that can block the view. Soul fire receives the same treatment. The change is applied to the client-side baked block model of fire directly, so no resource pack slot is used and the priority problems that resource packs can cause do not arise. Once installed, the effect works automatically and needs no setup.
The mod only changes local rendering and leaves server-side gameplay untouched, so a player can use it on a server that accepts visual changes made on the client. Its purpose is narrow: the mod does one job, and a settings screen provides the options for it. Fabric API is required as a dependency, and the mod is published for Fabric only, across three release versions: 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.2. The latest file is 1.1.0+26.2 for 26.2, released on 2026-09-28, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Static regular fire
Ordinary fire blocks are drawn as a three-pixel-tall flame that does not animate.
Static soul fire
Soul fire uses the same static flame, so both fire types stay readable while the view stays clear.
Settings screen
A settings screen lets the player adjust how the static flames are shown.
Replacement on install
The replacement starts working as soon as the mod is installed, with no resource pack to add.

Use cases
Clear view while building
Players who build near fire can keep the view free of animated flames that hide blocks.
Visual change on servers
Because the change is local, a player can use it on a server that allows client-side visual mods.
Who it’s for: Players who want a calmer look for fire in their own game, without changing how the server behaves.
How it compares
Burn By Soul Fire is a client-side only mod with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files for 1.20.1 – 26.2, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Kairo's Fire Customizer is also client-side only, published for Fabric alone across 1.21.9 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Low Static Fire is also client-side only, but its Fabric-only builds target a narrower range and its license is All rights reserved.

What the author says
Low Static Fire is a small client-side Fabric mod that replaces vanilla fire and soul fire with low, static flames. It is built for PvP, survival, and any setup where vanilla fire blocks too much of the screen. Unlike low-fire resource packs, this works as a real mod: install it once, keep your current resource…
