Smoke Signals

Get ready for some seriously smokin' communication. Transform your campfires into a symphony of colours. Say goodbye to dull chat messages and say hello to a playful way of communicating with your pals across large distances!

✅ Features

Coloured Smoke can be created by placing any wool block under a campfire
Configuration allows for any block to generate particles from a campfire
Client-side, so that only you and your friends need to have the mod, not the server

📖 Configuration

All particles and the blocks that emit particles can be changed in config/smoke_signals.json. A config screen will be available in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. Modrinth marks Smoke Signals 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 Smoke Signals require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Smoke Signals 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.
