About this Mod

Torches, campfires, and stonecutters will now deal damage to players, animals, or enemies that run over or brush against them. Basically, now the games will be more realistic, since just like in real life, these items will do a little damage.
The damage will depend on the element, and, therefore, it will not be the same to go over a stonecutter, than a torch.With the latest version, Magma Blocks, Magma Cubes, and Blazes now also catch fire.
Damages:
- Torch --> Half Heart
- Stonecutter --> Three Hearts
- Campfire --> Half Heart
- Magma Blocks --> Half Heart
- Magma Cubes --> Half Heart
- Blazes --> Half Heart
Do you need a server to play with your friends?
For exceptional server hosting services, look no further than ****. Of course, you can install all the mods or modpacks you want, and their support team is always available to help you.

Basically, the objective of this mod is to increase the difficulty of the games, as well as the realism. When players get too close to a torch, they will now take damage.
The same will happen with stone cutters, which will obviously do a lot more damage.Torches and bonfires a priori do the same damage, but it is true that the damage from torches can be more annoying.

Is it compatible with other mods that add torches?
It is perfectly compatible with the vast majority of mods that add torches, campfires or even stone cutters. It is highly recommended to use this mod together with More Beautiful Torches.
How can you disable the damage from torches, campfires or stone cutters?
After starting the game once, a configuration file will be created inside the "config" folder, it's just as easy as changing the option from "true" to "false".
Does it work on servers?
Sure! Remember that the best way to play with mods and friends is with BisectHosting, and by .
Can this mod be used in modpacks?
Of course! As long as it is published only on Modrinth or CurseForge. Uploading it to any other platform would be violating our rights and is not allowed at all.
However, we are really grateful if you consider adding it to your Modrinth or CurseForge modpack. If you need any small changes or have any questions, contact us!
