About this project
What does Cinderwood add?
Cinderwood
A standalone mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge)
A stripped down port of the burnt wood system from the Sleepwalk mod. No spells, no entities, no weather. Just fire, charcoal, and a full burnt wood set. This mod is a special request from a friend but I figured I would release it to the public too.
Features
Fire Conversion:
When fire touches any vanilla wood block (logs, planks, doors, fences, chests, signs, stairs, etc.), it converts to a burnt variant instead of being destroyed. This mod changes vanilla fire spreading to actively ignite nearby flammable blocks and convert interior wood (logs and leaves with no air exposure). Block state properties like axis, facing, hinge, and half are preserved during conversion.
Full Burnt Wood Set:
Every wood variant you would expect. Logs, stripped logs, wood, stripped wood, planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, buttons, pressure plates, standing signs, wall signs, hanging signs, wall hanging signs, chests, leaves, saplings, boats, and chest boats.
Burnt Logs to Charcoal:
Breaking burnt logs and stripped logs drops 1 to 3 charcoal without Silk Touch. Burnt leaves also drop charcoal, sticks, and saplings based on their own drop table.
Saplings:
Burnt saplings drop from burnt leaves at a 2.5% rate. They can only be planted on soul soil or soul sand. Once placed, they take one hour of real time to grow into a burnt tree. Use Withered Bonemeal to force grow them instantly instead. Saplings can form four small tree variants and two mega variants with a 2 by 2 formation.
Withered Bonemeal:
Craft it with one bone meal and one wither rose to get two withered bonemeal. Right click a burnt sapling on soul soil to instantly grow it into a tree, bypassing the one hour timer.
Full Crafting:
All standard wood recipes are supported. Slabs, stairs, sticks, doors, trapdoors, fences, fence gates, buttons, pressure plates, signs, hanging signs, chests, and boats. Burnt planks can also craft vanilla items like crafting tables, beds, barrels, jukeboxes, note blocks, and wooden tools.
Only supports neoforge and a single version of minecraft but if enough people like it, I'll port the mod to other versions of minecraft and for other modloaders too.
Keep an eye out for Sleepwalk. Comming soon.
