About this project

What does Better Burning System add?

Better Burning System(ingame: Better Burn Yourself, because it work on player)

Tired of fire being just “meh damage” in Minecraft?

This mod turns fire into a real survival threat — where burning isn’t just damage, it’s a progressive condition system that gets worse over time.

Version 1.0 showcase:

Burn System

Fire is no longer instant damage.

When you get burned:

You gain Burn Levels
The higher it gets, the worse your condition becomes

Effects include:

Slowness I → V
Weakness I → II
Warning messages as your condition worsens

If you ignore it… you don’t just “take damage” — you spiral down.


Survival Medical System

You don’t just eat and wait anymore.

You must treat burns using real progression items:

GelKnife → used to extract materials
Raw Gelatin → Cooked Gelatin → crafting progression
Collagen Patch → main healing tool

👉 Healing becomes a decision, not automatic recovery.


Gameplay Impact
Fire is now a threat, not inconvenience
Survival becomes more strategic
Early game is more intense
Medical-style gameplay loop added
Important Note

This mod may not behave as expected in Creative Mode.
