Smoke Suppression
Campfires stop emitting smoke particles when certain blocks sit underneath them, a client-side change in Smoke Suppression.
What it does
When a block from the suppressing list is placed under a standard or soul campfire, the campfire produces no particles at all. The purpose is to cut client-side lag and visual clutter on farms that run large numbers of campfires. A toggle inverts how the list behaves, and another option suppresses smoke from every campfire regardless of what sits beneath it.
Smoke Suppression runs in single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers joined by a client that has it installed, because only the client needs it. It requires Fabric API. Its configuration works through MidnightLib or Mod Menu, but neither is required, and without MidnightLib the options fall back to their default values. Earlier builds used Cloth Config instead of MidnightLib. The code is open source under the MIT License, and a Fabric and Quilt file exists for 26.3, the latest build, dated 2026-09-18.
Key features
Suppressing block list
A configurable list of blocks names which ones, when placed under a campfire, stop it from producing particles.
Inverted list mode
The list can be inverted so that smoke is suppressed under every block except the ones listed.
Global suppression
An option suppresses smoke from all campfires, whatever block is beneath them.
Standard and soul campfires
Both campfire types are affected, so the same rules apply to either.

Use cases
Campfire farms
Players running many campfires in one area can remove the particle load that causes client-side slowdown.
Mixed builds
Suppression can be limited to chosen blocks, so decorative campfires keep their smoke.
Who it’s for: Players with dense campfire setups and players who want a cleaner look around specific blocks. Fabric players are the intended audience; the author does not plan a port to another loader, although the MIT license allows one.

What the author says
Prevents campfires from creating any particles when certain blocks are underneath them. It affects both standard and soul campfires. This is to prevent client-side lag and general annoyance when using large numbers of campfires in farms.
