About this Mod
Burning Block
Burning Block is a mod that makes fire leave a mark on the world, making it quite obvious where there was a fire. It also means that you might have to clean up after a fire!
The mod can convert blocks from one to another, and damage/convert adjacent blocks.
Currently the ash block has no uses.
Burning Block is made with modpack and datapack devs in mind: featuring datapack support. Many of the mod's block conversions are controlled by block tags and Neoforge data maps. There is a basic Wiki.
Compatibility
This mod probably doesn't mix with with Burnt, havn't tested it. Burning Block is fully configurable meaning modpack (or datapack) and mod developers can hopefully make whatever blocks/items they are missing out on.
This mod's ash is a decorative block, if you have Supplementaries it will probably spawn both types of ash during a fire. If supplementaries supports the proper item tags both mod's ash should be able to be used in recipes.
