Disabling Fire Spread

I'm just completely unsure how to get started with this one. I just want to make it so people can still light things on fire, lava can still be placed, but there's no fire spreading.

I've got a lot of problems with other mods not working/fighting to the death with one another/heavily lagging the server, and I'm an experienced coder. There is currently a fire lagging the server, and I do have a mod enabled that's supposed to stop it. I'd really just like to add this simple functionality to the custom mod I am working on.

All I really need to know - what event is triggered by the spread of fire?

 

BlockIgniteEvent is called each time a block tries to catch on fire. You could mess around with that.

 

I did this exact thing for our test server. Fire spreading disabled but you can still use flint&steel to set fire to 1 block.

All you need is this 1 hook in a BlockListner

Code:

@Override
    public void onBlockIgnite(BlockIgniteEvent event) {
        if (event.getCause() != IgniteCause.FLINT_AND_STEEL) {
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }

 

Where would one put that code? I'm a total java noob... I know some coding in genral, but I don't know the java infastructure.

 

I've had this problem too, hopefully someone posts a fix. -_-

 

Would be great.

Fire wont spread, nothing gets set on fire apart from manually with flint and steel, and blocks wont get consumed by fire.

 

what server program do you use ??

 

Thanks! But could you make one that ONLY stops the spread? That would be incredible!

 

That seems to be bugged right now. The code I posted used to work but now as soon as a block gets destroyed by fire, it spreads and cancelling it doesn't work.

I think the only options are to prevent blocks from being consumed by fire or disabling flint&steel.

 

I coded a version of this for my own server several weeks ago but never released it thinking it was so simple; it blocks spreading of fire and lava starting things on fire, but allows flint to work.

A version that onyl blocks the spread of fire is even easier; look below.

Error 404 0n your last link :<

 

indeed

 

I removed the file at the link, so it 404'ed. I just removed the link so people would not think it worked.

A bug keeps the plugin from working; So its not worth updating at this time. A guy has a plugin just like this named vFireStop check that out.

 

bump

 

Updated Code:
public void onBlockIgnite(BlockIgniteEvent event)
{
Block block = event.getBlock();
if (event.getCause().FLINT_AND_STEEL != event.getCause().FLINT_AND_STEEL) {

}
else{
event.setCancelled(true);
}

 

Guys, this guy was obviously trying to learn a bit of code which stops fire spreading and destroying blocks. Why post your own plugins? Just provide source snippets.
And @multi_coder that code will just stop Flint and Steel working?

 

Thats all I needed back then, my plugin is 1.3 megs now.

 

-.- @Override you mean @EventHandler ...

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onBlockIgnite(BlockIgniteEvent event){
    if (event.getCause() == IgniteCause.SPREAD){
        event.setCancelled(true);
    }
}

You realize that you just raped a 3 year old thread?
Back in these days, the given code was completly valid, as the old event system was still in place.

 

Why was it on the first page -.- Universe y u do dis?
