Better Fire+

Better Fire+ turns fire and heat sources in Minecraft into a real hazard. Instead of fire only burning away wood, nearby blocks now react to high heat based on material type, distance, and exposure time.

//  FEATURES  \\

Heat & Fire Physics

The glass shattered due to the high temperature.

• Fire, lava, magma, campfires, and active furnaces heat up surrounding blocks over time. (But it doesn't mean a lantern will burn your house down because the heat is not enough)
• High temperatures will shatter, scorch, melt, or ignite nearby materials(such as glass, lantern and redstone lamp).
• Extinguishing heat sources allows blocks to gradually cool down.

Block Reactions

• Glass Shattering: Glass blocks and panes crack and shatter into shards when exposed to intense heat from flames or lava.
• Soot & Burning: Fire leaves dark burn marks behind. Bright concrete turns dark gray/black, terracotta scorches, and stone builds up soot.
• Melting & Baking:
  • Sand placed next to lava bakes into glass.
  • Clay blocks near campfires harden into terracotta.
  • Ice and snow melt into water, and wet sponges dry out.
  • Basalt and smooth stone crack under extreme thermal shock.
• Copper Interactions: Heat strips the wax off waxed copper blocks and speeds up oxidation on exposed copper.

Structural Collapse & Radiant Heat

• Ceiling Collapses: Burning down wooden support beams causes some blocks(furnance, cauldron etc.) to collapse and crush anything below.

• Radiant Heat: Standing near large fires or open lava lakes deals heat damage and sets players or mobs on fire. Solid walls block radiant heat, so you can take cover behind barriers.
• Three Difficulties: Changing the difficulty of Better fire+ to fit your playing style! There are three difficulties:
  • • Easy(0): Heat conduction speed is reduced to 0.6x, only intense heat sources(lava, fire) are able to conduct heat. Furnances/Smokers do not radiate heat to the surroundings.
      Normal(1): Standard heat conduction speed. Lava, fire and campfires(etc.) are able to radiate heat.
      Hard(2): Heat conduction speed increases to 1.4x. Torches, lanterns, candles and redstone lamps all become active heat sources! In hard mode, if a torch is placed directly against planks, wool or leaves, the material will ignite and catch fire after prolonged exposure to the heat.

//  COMMANDS  \\

You can toggle features and adjust heat settings in-game using /fire and /firefeature commands (requires cheats/operator permissions).

Toggle Features

/firefeature <feature> [true|false]
Example:  /firefeature glassShatter true

Available toggles:

glassShatter, sootColoring, vitrify, stoneCrack, melting, charWood, scorchPlants, ignitables, fragileBreak, containerSpill, copperOxidize, heatRadiation, emberJump, heavyCollapse, ambientEffects, evaporateWater

Tweak Physics Settings

/fire <intensity|radius|rate> [value]

• /fire intensity 1.5 — Heat multiplier (Default: 1.0)
• /fire radius 3 — Heat check radius in blocks (Default: 2)
• /fire rate 20 — Simulation check interval in ticks (Default: 20 ticks = 1 second)

Note: Omit the value parameter to check current settings.

Thanks for reading! If you have any issues/suggestions about Better Fire+, leave a comment to let me know!

KNOWN BUG: The text information of the command /firefeature cannot be properly displayed. You can still toggle those features but unable to see the text "XXX is now ON/OFF". I will try to fix it in the next update;)
