⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust (4,628 endorsements) — this is a proven classic
Massive download count (385,576) shows it's a go-to for fire visuals
Covers all fire sources in one mod — no need to hunt for separate retextures

No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author
Only retextures fires — no new fire effects or animations, so if you want more than a visual tweak, look elsewhere
