Overview

The Unlit Campfire Mod is a gameplay enhancement designed to add a layer of realism and safety to Minecraft's fire-starting mechanics. By default, vanilla Minecraft campfires are placed already burning, which can be immersion-breaking and hazardous to the player. This mod ensures that both standard Campfires and Soul Campfires are unlit when first placed.

Beyond the initial placement state, the mod introduces a sophisticated burning mechanic where campfires require maintenance, can be extinguished by environmental factors like rain, and can be upgraded to burn infinitely using specific items. It is highly compatible with information HUD mods, providing real-time data on fire duration and status.
