Fire Rekindled is a 16x, vanilla-like resource pack for Java that rebuilds almost every animated texture. It began as a replacement for fire and related blocks, then grew into a wider overhaul. It works on the player's side only, and a dedicated host does not use it.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.17 to 1.21.11.
What changes visually
Every animation runs 32 or 64 frames and loops seamlessly. The art stays close to the vanilla style, so the pack reads as a polish pass, not a restyle. Textures that never had animation gain it.
- Fire, soul fire, campfires, torches, lanterns and Jack o'Lantern
- Flame, candle, explosion and potion effect particles (potion swirls become bubbles)
- Water, lava, magma block, Nether portal and respawn anchor
- Furnace, blast furnace, smoker, dispenser and dropper
- Crimson and warped stems, prismarine, sea lantern, slime block, sculk block and sculk veins
Support also covers two mods. Coloured portals, chocolate, honey and steam jet particles are restyled for Charm and Create.
PBR and shaders
Nearly every texture ships with normal and specular maps in the LabPBR standard. With a compatible shader, affected blocks get shiny reflections, and parallax occlusion mapping (POM) adds a 3D effect. Without a shader, the pack still works as a plain animated texture set.
How to install Fire Rekindled
- 1.Get the .zip from the Modrinth page linked here.
- 2.Open Options, then Resource Packs, then Open Pack Folder, and drop the .zip in.
- 3.Move the pack to the Selected side of the screen.
A pack made for a different release can still load but shows an incompatibility warning. For a full walkthrough, see the resource pack install guide. The trade-off is scope. This pack touches animated textures only, so pair it with a general pack such as Fresh Textures if you want the rest of the world restyled.
Questions about Fire Rekindled.
4 questions
How do I install Fire Rekindled?
Place the downloaded .zip in the resourcepacks folder, which you can reach through Options, Resource Packs, Open Pack Folder. Then move the pack to the Selected side of the Resource Packs screen. If the pack was made for a different release, the menu shows an incompatibility warning, but it can still load.
Does Fire Rekindled work with shaders?
Yes. Nearly all textures include normal and specular maps in the LabPBR standard, so compatible shaders add reflections, and parallax occlusion mapping adds depth. Not every shader applies POM to all blocks, and many need the option enabled in their settings. Without a shader the pack still animates textures.
Is Fire Rekindled available for Bedrock?
The pack is distributed on Modrinth for Java only. Bedrock uses a different pack format, so this download will not load there. The pack is built for Java and no Bedrock version is listed by its creator, Tec.
Which versions does Fire Rekindled support?
The newest release covers 1.17 through 1.21.11, and it has no required dependencies. Older Java releases outside that range are not listed. The pack is 16x and runs on the player's side only.
