# SmoothFlint — Flint & Steel, but smarter

SmoothFlint upgrades vanilla Flint and Steel with more intuitive ignite rules and a few extra mob mechanics — all controllable through a simple config file.

## 🔥 What this mod changes

### Smarter igniting: entities and blocks - Using Flint and Steel on an entity can ignite that entity (configurable). - Special cases / vanilla safety: - Item drops (`ItemEntity`) cannot be ignited. - Dragon Fireballs cannot be ignited. - Creepers keep vanilla behavior (Flint & Steel triggers their special mechanic). - Water rule: living mobs in water don’t ignite (prevents underwater cheese). - Works on non-living entities too (example: boats, wind charges) if the target can be set on fire.

### 🌿 Plants burn into fire instantly Using Flint and Steel on small plants (grass/flowers-like blocks) removes the plant and replaces it with fire immediately, with smoke particles instead of block-breaking particles.

### 🌪️ Breeze: quick self-extinguish If a Breeze is burning, it will extinguish itself after 20 ticks (1 second), play an extinguish sound, and spawn white smoke particles (configurable).

### 💥 Burning Wind Charges can ignite an area (optional) If a Wind Charge is burning (it has fire ticks), its explosion can: - ignite nearby living entities - place small patches of fire around the impact - spawn flame + smoke particles Disabled by default for balance / vanilla-friendliness.

### 👀 Hostile + neutral mobs can react like you “attacked” them Igniting a mob with Flint & Steel can make: - hostile mobs target you - neutral mobs (e.g. Iron Golem) become angry like after a normal hit This is optional and can be disabled via config.

### 🟣 Enderman fire panic + extinguish chance - A burning Enderman enters “panic mode” and tries to teleport every 40 ticks until it stops burning (configurable). - After a successful teleport, a burning Enderman has a 50% chance to extinguish itself (configurable).

## ⚙️ Configuration

Config file is created at:

`/.minecraft/config/smoothflint.json`

### Options

1) Ignite entities on click `ignite.enable` (default: `true`) If enabled, Flint & Steel can ignite entities when you use it directly on them.

2) Ignite other players `ignite.igniteOtherPlayers` (default: `true`) Only matters if option #1 is enabled. Allows igniting other players with Flint & Steel.

3) Breeze self-extinguish `breeze.selfExtinguish` (default: `true`) If enabled, burning Breeze extinguishes itself after 20 ticks, plays a sound, and spawns white smoke.

4) Burning Wind Charge ignites area `windCharge.burningIgnitesArea` (default: `false`) If enabled, burning Wind Charges ignite nearby entities and place fire on nearby air blocks when they explode.

5) Provoke neutral/hostile mobs on ignite `mobs.provokeNeutralOnIgnite` (default: `true`) If enabled, igniting a mob with Flint & Steel makes neutral/hostile mobs react like after being attacked.

6) Enderman extinguish chance on teleport `enderman.extinguishChanceOnTeleport` (default: `true`) If enabled, burning Endermen have a 50% chance to extinguish after a successful teleport.

7) Enderman panic while burning `enderman.panicWhileBurning` (default: `true`) If enabled, burning Endermen attempt to teleport every 40 ticks until they stop burning.

## ✅ Notes / vanilla compatibility - Creeper + Flint & Steel remains vanilla (no changes to their special interaction). - Item drops can’t be ignited. - Dragon Fireballs can’t be ignited. - Gameplay rules are applied server-side.
