🤔 What is Why Do You Burn?

Why Do You Burn? is a mod which makes some item fireproof, when their use, appearance or origin makes sense.

💡 Features

🔥 Base Fireproof Items

  • Blaze Powder
  • Blaze Rods

  • Magma Block
  • Obsidian
  • Crying Obsidian
  • Dragon Egg
  • Dragon Head

🏷️ Fireproof Item Tag

Fireproof items are now a tag (why_do_you_burn:fireproof) that you can add to any item using a datapack!

❓ Q&A

This item should be fireproof in the base mod! Simply join the discord and ask for it to be added in the suggestions channel, and I might add it. Also remember that you can make a datapack and add the fireproof item that way!
Can I use this in my modpack? Yes.
I have an issue. Where can I report it? Issues can be reported in the help channel of the Discord.
Can you port this to Forge/Neoforge/Quilt? No. I only make mods for Fabric and won't port them for other mod loaders.

If you want to make a branch of Legion for another loader, join the Discord and ask for the permission in the Help channel. It will almost always be given, but please ask first.

Can you backport the mod to version `x.xx`? No. I make mods for the latest version of the game and will not backport them.

Similarly to Question 1, if you want to make a branch of Why Do You Burn? for another version of the game, join the Discord and ask for the permission in the Help channel. It will almost always be given, but please ask first.
