Fire

Fire burns, usually destroying things (plants, trees and wooden blocks) in the process.

Appearance

Fire is depicted in The Blockheads as a changing pattern of yellow to red, generally resembling a real flame. Uncontrolled flames (outside a campfire, furnace, or kiln) also have a pattern of darker browns above it resembling smoke.

Ways to Start Fires

When a wooden block or plant is within two blocks of a campfire it may ignite at any time. The effect will penetrate a block of dirt or compost. This will not earn the Pyro achievement.

The following things may start uncontrolled fires.

• Ember
• Campfire

Effects

An uncontrolled fire will spread up and sideways to other flammable blocks and items. If a blockhead is near enough, it may start to emit smoke and take damage if it gets hotter, especially when it is on top of a burning tree.

Flammable blocks and items will despawn and vanish after burning. Things that don't burn but are in contact with despawning blocks will react accordingly. Trapdoors will appear to have their ladder burn but will drop when they despawn.

Flammable Items

The following things can burn:

• Wood blocks
• Leaves and Trees
• Ladders
• Reinforced Platforms
• Wooden and Soft Beds
• Growing Plants
