About this Mod
📝 Description
This mod provides an easy-to-use API for modders who wish to introduce their own custom fire types, seamlessly integrating consistent behavior.
It's what powers Soul Fire'd and Copper Fire, and allows integration with many other mods!
⚠️ Important: Prometheus must be installed on both client and server, as it introduces substantial gameplay changes, not just visuals.

Server lagging with Prometheus – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Prometheus consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
