Whiff O' Wisp
by davigj
Whiff O' Wisp adds a set of scented candles, each with its own flower-themed look and an effect on nearby living entities.
What it does
Scented candles are the core of the mod. Placing several of them on one block makes the flame look larger, up to four per block as in vanilla candles, and a single candle can be trimmed with shears to burn more cleanly and release less smoke. Trimming also shrinks the area of effect, which suits daintier builds where the glow should stay close to the candle.
Netherwax, the ingredient the candles need, is made by smelting netherwart in a furnace, so the candles fit into the existing progression. Butchers and Wandering Traders can offer some of the candles as trades, and the mod generates a special candle that changes with the day length. Candle cakes cannot be trimmed.
The mod requires Blueprint on both the server and every player's client. Blueprint is the only required dependency. Several optional mods add extra compatibility, including Soul Candles, Buzzier Bees, Jaden's Nether Expansion and Supplementaries. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, under the MIT License.
Key features
Scented candle variety
Multiple candle types, each with a different flower theme and visual style.
Area effects on living entities
Scented candles apply special effects to living entities within a small radius around the lit flame.
Trimming with shears
Shears trim a candle's wick so it burns cleanly, reduces the smoke it emits and shrinks its effect radius.
Stacking on one block
Several scented candles can share one block, producing a larger-looking flame, as with vanilla candles on 1.20.1.

What the author says
Scented candles cause special effects to living entities in a very small radius when lit. They require netherwax, which comes from smelting netherwart in a furnace. [1.19.2] Unlike regular candles, placing multiple scented candles in the same block makes for a larger-appearing and singular candle.
