No Fire Tick
by qiamao
No Fire Tick is a Forge mod for server owners who want fire to stop spreading to nearby blocks and stop burning flammable ones.
What it does
Once the mod is installed on a server, fire no longer spreads to adjacent blocks and no longer destroys flammable blocks such as wood, leaves or wool. Fire that already exists still goes out on its own, following the same extinguishing rules as vanilla, because the base fire tick logic is left untouched. The change works by setting the doFireTick gamerule to false, which has to be run on the server, and the client should run the same command for the effect to be complete.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and nothing changes on their side beyond the lack of fire spread. Installation requires the client to run the command as well, which is why the author asks for both sides to be set up. The mod is published for Forge only, with files for 1.12.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 0.0.4 for 1.20.1 from 2026-09-23. It is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved, although the source code is publicly available.
Key features
Fire spread prevention
Fire does not jump to neighboring blocks, so a single torch or flame stays contained where it starts.
Flammable blocks survive
Wood, leaves and other flammable blocks are not burned away by fire that reaches them.
Vanilla extinguishing kept
Existing fire still goes out naturally under the normal vanilla rules, since the base fire tick logic is not replaced.
Gamerule-based setup
The behavior is applied through the doFireTick gamerule, which the server must set to false after installing the mod.

How it compares
Lazyboy's No Fire Spread is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod released under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.2, and it runs on both client and server. Fire Spread Tweaks is server-side only and not open source, covering 1.16.5 – 26.3 across four loaders, so it reaches more versions than No Fire Tick. No Fire Tick is limited to Forge and to 1.12.2 and 1.20.1, and it differs from these alternatives in being a server-side Forge mod with a gamerule-based setup.
