SmoothFlint — Flint & Steel, but smarter

A vanilla-friendly Flint & Steel overhaul with sensible ignite rules and a simple config.

Smarter igniting: entities and blocksUsing
Flint and Steel on an entity can ignite that entity (configurable).
Special cases / vanilla safety:
Item drops (ItemEntity) cannot be ignited.
Dragon Fireballs cannot be ignited.
Creepers keep vanilla behavior (Flint & Steel triggers their special mechanic).
Water rule: living mobs in water don’t ignite (prevents underwater cheese).
Works on non-living entities too (boats, wind charges, etc.) if the target can be set on fire.
Using Flint & Steel on small plants (grass/flowers-like blocks) removes the plant and replaces it with fire immediately.
A burning Breeze extinguishes itself after 20 ticks (1 second).
💥 Burning Wind Charges can ignite an area (optional)
If a Wind Charge is burning (has fire ticks), its explosion can: ignite nearby living entities, place small patches of fire around the impact (Disabled by default for balance / vanilla-friendliness).
👀 Hostile + neutral mobs react like you “attacked” them
Igniting a mob with Flint & Steel can make: hostile mobs target you, neutral mobs (e.g. Iron Golem) become angry like after a normal hit (Optional and fully configurable).
🟣 Enderman fire panic + extinguish chance
A burning Enderman enters “panic mode” and]tries to teleport every 40 ticks until it stops burning. (configurable)
After a successful teleport, a burning Enderman has a 50% chance to extinguish itself. (configurable)
