Fire Physics

When wooden blocks burn, rather than disappearing, they become Cinders: black, gravity-obeying slabs with glowing orange bits. Cinder blocks haha spread fire but if there is nothing flammable nearby, they become Ash.

Ash would be a dark grey, snow-layer-type block that obeys gravity.

The player can place wooden blocks on top of Cinders and the block will displace the Cinders, then catch fire. This would allow players to have proper campfires without having to place a new log and set it on fire again; now the player can just replace the log and the fire keeps burning.

    yes please. i despise how fire spread works in this game. it leaves entirely unburnt blocks just floating in the air and everything about is so ugly. making the blocks actually burn to ash and fall would be much nicer

    Perhaps instead of going straight to cinders we could first get charred wood in order to better provide a realistic fire spread in the sense at least of not leaving so many floating blocks?

    We really should find a use for the ash if we want this to have a substantial chance of being implemented. The first clear use I could find for ash is in compost though due to the salt content too much could hurt the plants. Second clear use is to remove stains or in this case for specifically remove dyes.

    The third and best use is to refine it for the salt content which would give it a good niche if salt is added to the game and proves useful. Based on wood ash composition after salt is extracted the result would be roughly equivalent to bone meal. I will now eventually write a suggestion asking for salt to be added to the game, thank you for the inspiration.
