SmokeShow
by KlooDoh
Right-clicking a lit campfire, soul campfire or torch with one of the 16 vanilla dyes tints the smoke it gives off, and a stop key clears the smoke particles.
What it does
Holding sneak while dyeing switches the whole column of smoke through a rainbow cycle. Two dye colours can be combined to reach shades beyond the vanilla set, such as purple-leaning blues, warmer oranges and softer greens.
Torches dyed this way can mark routes through tunnels, a blue trail over ice or a green line across a farm. Each dye use spawns a short burst of sparkles and a sound, so the change is clear to the player. Smoke can be hidden with a key that is Page Down by default, and shovelling the campfire out removes the tint. The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and is not open source.
