Simple Fire Starter

Use the fire-starter to light a campfire.
# Fire Starter

A small [NeoForge](https://neoforged.net/) mod for Minecraft 1.21.1.

Hold the fire-starter and aim at some logs and sticks lying on the ground. After a
short charge-up it lights a campfire in front of you — or, on soul soil, a soul
campfire.

## Features

- A single "Fire Starter" item (`firestarter:fire_starter`), also found in the
  vanilla **Tools & Utilities** creative tab.
- Craft it in a 2×2 grid (top-left → top-right → bottom-left → bottom-right):

  | Flint | Stick |
  |-------|-------|
  | Stick | String |

- Right-click (or right-click a block) to charge for 40 ticks, then on release:
  - With at least **1 log and 3 sticks** on the ground within reach, it consumes them
    and lights a campfire (a **soul campfire** if the spot sits on soul soil or soul sand).
  - Without enough fuel, it just lights a **plain fire** instead.
- Has 16 durability: lighting a campfire/soul campfire costs **1** point, lighting a
  plain fire costs **4** points.
- Repairable like a normal tool: combine two fire-starters in the anvil, or repair
  one with **flint**.
- Removes the vanilla crafting recipes for the campfire and soul campfire, so they
  can only be obtained through the fire-starter.
