About this Mod

Description Banner
Better Campfire Smoke is a lightweight and configurable client-side mod that alters the vanilla campfire particle emitter to look more pleasant.

Features

  1. Campfires will emit smoke particles that flow in the wind, allowing for a better and more visually pleasing representation of campsites, chimneys, and factory smoke stacks.
  2. The more campfires you place, the larger the smoke plume.
  3. Wind is affected by in game weather.
  4. Soul campfires emit a slightly darker plume of smoke that tints blue as it rises.
  5. Fully configurable and completely client-side.

Recommendations

While not required, I reccomend installing Particle Core as it can make both performance and transparency stacking slightly better.

Disclaimer

This mod could be somewhat graphically heavy on some low end hardware due to the amount of particles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Better Smoke need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Better Smoke as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Better Smoke require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Better Smoke is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
