Is fire damaging your precious buildings or forests? Want to allow fire but restrict its mechanics? Or just log it? Or tp there and put it out? This plugin, inspired by @happypumkin and @x0pk1n, allows all that and more with detailed configurability. To be specific, it has the following features, all configurable by world:

• disable fire spreading, by world
• fire start controls:
  • log fire starting with detailed world location (players only, or also lightning and lava)
  • disable fire starting by lightning, fire spread, explosions, fireballs, explosions, ender crystals, and/or lava
  • disable starting fire to blocks by players (with enable by Permissions)
  • disable starting fire to mobs & players by players (with enable by Permissions)
  • make certain block types fireproof! Configurable list of block IDs.
• fire duration controls:
  • by the mechanism that started the fire, regardless of the underlying material
• disable fire damage to blocks, players, and/or non-player entries including mobs
• disable lava damage to blocks, players, and/or non-player entries
• disable lava placement by players, with permissions override support
• commands to view last few locations of fire starting, by whom
• commands to teleport to a log entry
• command to put out fires nearby you, or in entire world
• commands to view/set/save all config values, or reload from config.yml
• command to flush fire start log to disk
• option to make burnt logs drop charcoal.
• supports multiple languages [in 2.6]
• control fire duration by start type, providing fixed value or a range [in 2.7]

Configuration

Most of the controls of this plugin, like AntiCreeper, are solely by configuration flags. Almost all entries are lists of worlds in which that specific behavior will be active. You can either present them as a YML list of strings:

  nospread: 
    - world 
    - world_the_end

But I found that to get hard to read when I have so many config items, so you can optionally present them on one line as a comma-separated list:

  nospread: world, world_the_end

Blocklist

The .blocklist entry is the same as you'll find in AntiCreeper's blocklists. It's a list of comma-separated block names, and allows sub-type listings in form of "#:#"[3.0] which could be used, for example, to make jungle wood fireproof but allow burning other wood. If you wish to make almost everything fireproof except a few blocks, set .whitelist to true and then only list the ones that should burn. There are few rare cases where the block detection may not seem to work well, but this only happens if there is another burnable block adjacent to the fire location.

  woodropscharcoal: world
  charcoaldrop:
    random: true

Statistics

Since 1.4 the plugin now sends statistics to mcstats.org. These are completely anonymous and help me as a plugin developer know how the plugin is being used. You can view the same data by clicking below. If you want to turn it off, simply edit plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml and change opt-out: false to true

Languages and Translations

AntiFire now supports you configuring your own strings used to players, and setting alternate languages as well. This is done with LanguageAPI plugin. See the detailed language page for more.

Possible features:

1. Suppressing hissing sound when drops are not damaged by lava
2. Allow different timedcause configuration per world

Change timeNetherackToo to a world-based config flag. [2.9]

Add an option for rain to still put out timed fires [2.8]

LanguageAPI support for translations
