I don't know my version or loader
Hides the obstructive fire overlay when it's not needed.
Why Am I on Fire works for both the client and server. For the best experience, use it on both sides.
Behavior
On client: Hides the fire overlay when the player either has fire resistance or is in creative mode. If the player is still on fire and either the fire resistance effect is about to wear off or they're holding a bucket of milk, the fire overlay will warn you.
On server: Physically removes the fire on players with fire resistance or that are in creative mode. If the player is standing inside lava or fire and either the fire resistance effect is about to wear off or they're holding a bucket of milk, they will be set on fire again as a warning. In some cases, like standing inside a fire block, the fire screen overlay will still show on clients that don't have the mod.
Config
Warning display: You can choose between either: "Flash", which has the fire overlay flash twice a second, "Transparent", which displays a transparent fire overlay instead, or "None", which never displays the overlay.
Extinguish mobs: Enables/disables the server-side behavior of extinguishing mobs which are resistant to fire.
Modpack usage: Feel free, no need to ask.
