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.
