  • Campfires can start unlit: default is false in the config file.
  • Custom Buffs For Hostile Mobs: You can add debuffs or buffs for hostile mobs.
  • Rains And Snow Can Extinguish Campfires: Rains now can extinguish the campfires.
  • Campfires Burn Out: Campfires are burnt out after a certain time.
  • Campfires Burn Hostile Mobs: Campfires now can burn hostile mobs.
  • Campfire Fuels: Fuels to make your campfire burn longer. (works if Campfires Burn Out is enabled)

Giving Buffs: so many buffs!
