Torridium

🔥 Fire is no longer your obedient servant

The Torridium modification completely revamps Minecraft's fire mechanics, turning conventional flame sources from simple illuminators into a dynamic and dangerous environmental threat. Torches, furnaces, and lava actively heat the surrounding space, which can lead to the ignition of combustible structures.

This modification aims to add a new level of challenge and encourage more thoughtful construction, especially in the early stages of the game. Think twice before placing a torch on a wooden wall. You've been warned.

Please note: For demonstration purposes, in this video the ignition probability is set to an extremely high level (70%). By default, the settings are more balanced and the process takes longer!

Main Features

Dynamic Fire and Heat Physics

The core logic has been completely rewritten using the mixins system to ensure maximum stability and performance. No more "frozen" fires!

• Intelligent Combustion: The probability of a block burning out now depends on the number of burning sides around it. Blocks surrounded by flame burn out significantly faster.
• "Hungry" Fire: Fire left without available fuel begins to actively spread heat over greater distances in a final attempt to find something to burn before extinguishing.

Transformative Heat Effects

Heat doesn't just burn—it changes the surrounding world. Discover dozens of new reactions:

• Baking: Smelt cobblestone into stone, sand into glass, and more directly in the game world.
• Cracking: Overheat stone bricks and deepslate to obtain their cracked variants.
• Agriculture: Dry out farmland, wither crops, and cook kelp right in the water.
• Utility Functions: Light unlit candles and campfires, and also evaporate water blocks that are too close to an intense heat source.

Atmospheric Sparks

Campfires periodically emit sparks that can be carried by the wind and cause new ignitions, making their placement a strategically important decision.

World Events

The world has become more alive and dangerous:

• Droughts: A global drought can randomly start, making everything in the world more flammable for a certain period.
• Temperature Flashes: A lightning strike can trigger a localized high-temperature event, turning an ordinary storm into a potential inferno.

Deep Configuration

Almost every aspect of the modification can be configured right in the game. Adjust heating radius, ignition probability, event parameters, and more.

Optimized Performance

The mod is designed for efficient operation on servers. Heat sources are tracked optimally, and fire process handling is limited per tick to prevent lag even during large-scale fires.

Mod Compatibility

Built-in support for the Supplementaries mod! If it's installed, burned blocks leave behind layers of ash.

⚠️ Important Information for World Interaction

Keep in mind that vanilla structures, such as villages and woodland mansions, were not designed with this mechanic in mind. Their generous use of torches on wooden surfaces makes them extremely vulnerable. Approaching these structures activates the heat sources within them, potentially causing large fires. It is recommended to handle such structures with caution or adjust the configuration to your preference.
