Fire no longer stays put. When a burning entity touches another, the flames spread, and a single spark can race through a whole crowd.
Mobs have learned to fear it. Any creature that can catch fire now keeps away from anything already ablaze, so one burning mob scatters the pack instead of setting it alight.
What it does
- 🔥 Burning entities set fire to whatever they touch
- 🏃 Mobs steer clear of entities that are on fire
Set a mob alight in a herd and watch the panic spread. Light yourself up, and hostiles think twice before closing in.
