How to Get Colored Flames from Modded Fire and Custom Fluids

Why Modded Fires Sometimes Stay Orange

Dyed Flames supports soul fire, modded fire blocks, and custom fire types, but support is not automatic for every mod. A modded fire only shows a custom color once a matching fire definition exists for it. If the mod you're using doesn't ship one, the flames fall back to the default look.

Making a Modded Fire Work

1. Identify the exact block or fluid ID of the modded fire you want to recolor (check the mod's own files or use a block-info tool in-game).

2. Add a fire definition for that ID using the same JSON approach as for vanilla fire types.

3. Set the flame and smoke colors you want for that source.

4. Reload and test by igniting a mob with that specific fire.

Custom Fluids

Custom fluids behave the same way — they need a definition that maps the fluid to a color. Once defined, any mob burning from that fluid will emit the matching flame and smoke trail.

Tips

• Keep one definition per fire source so colors don't conflict.
• If two mods add similar fire blocks, define each separately; the mod matches by ID, not by appearance.
• Test in a creative world first so you can place fire sources freely and compare results quickly.
