# Fire Bending<\/p>\n

This is a Fabric Minecraft server-side mod that allows server administrators to control with more detail the behaviour of fire ticking.<\/p>\n

## Fire Sources<\/p>\n

Fire blocks produced by different sources are now their own fire blocks. The mod adds new gamerules that let you configure the fire tick delay of each fire source individually:<\/p>\n

– `\/gamerule lightningFireTickDelay `
\n– `\/gamerule lavaFireTickDelay `
\n– `\/gamerule flintAndSteelFireTickDelay `
\n– `\/gamerule explosionFireTickDelay `
\n– `\/gamerule fireChargeFireTickDelay `<\/p>\n

The integer argument supplied to the gamerule, will modify the fire tick delay of the corresponding fire source, using the formula `tickDelay = argument + RandomNumber(0, 10)`. Additionally, setting this value to `-1` disables fire ticking for that fire source.
\nAll of these gamerules have the default value of `30`.<\/p>\n

## Tick fire based on nearby players<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the mod adds two new gamerules:<\/p>\n

– `\/gamerule doTickFireOnlyWhenPlayerNearby `: This gamerule toggles whether fire blocks should tick only when a player is within a certain user-configurable distance and fire ticking is enabled for the source of the fire. This is `false` by default.
\n– `\/gamerule tickFireWhenPlayerNearbyDistance ` This gamerule sets the distance at which a player has to be in order for fire to tick, if the `doTickFireOnlyWhenPlayerNearby` gamerule is enabled. This is `30` by default, and the minimum value is `1`.<\/p>\n

## Flammable blocks blacklist<\/p>\n

Finally, the mod offers a configuration file, found at `.\/config\/fire-bender-config.json`, where the user can configure a list for blocks that shouldn’t be flammable.
\nYou can add block identifier entries to the `flammable_blocks_blacklist` array, and then reload the config using the command `\/fire-bender reload_config`.<\/p>\n

“`json
\n{
\n “flammable_blocks_blacklist”: [
\n “minecraft:my_block”,
\n “modid:other_block”
\n ]
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
