Low Fire is a Java Edition resource pack that shrinks the first-person fire overlay by about 6 pixels, roughly 37.5 percent lower than vanilla, so burning no longer floods the screen mid-fight. It leaves the ground and block fire texture untouched, needs no mod loader or OptiFine, and covers 1.20 through the current 26.2 release.
What Low Fire changes
The pack only replaces the entity fire model, the flame overlay rendered on your own screen when you catch fire. Modrinth's own comparison shows the effect: your view stays readable instead of filling with orange for several seconds. Block fire on netherrack, campfires, and burning structures keeps its normal vanilla look, since the pack separates that model from the entity fire it edits.
- First-person fire overlay is about 6 pixels, or 37.5 percent, shorter than vanilla
- Block and floor fire textures are untouched, so builds and farms look normal
- Only model geometry changes; no new textures are added
- Works as a plain resource pack, no mod loader, OptiFine, or CIT resource pack needed

Is Low Fire safe to use in PvP
Readers who want more than a single fire tweak can pair it with, or compare it against, a bundled option like Critical PVP, which shrinks fire alongside shields and totems in one download. For screen clutter beyond fire, Low Shield targets the shield overlay the same way Low Fire targets flames.
Supported Minecraft versions
The current build, version 1.3.0, lists support from 1.20 up through 26.2, the latest release at the time of writing. Because the pack only edits a vanilla model file, it tends to keep working across point releases without needing a new build for every patch.
Questions about Low Fire.
5 questions
What does Low Fire change in Minecraft?
Low Fire is a Java Edition resource pack that shortens the first-person fire overlay by about 6 pixels, roughly 37.5 percent lower than vanilla. It only edits the entity fire model, so block and ground fire keep their normal vanilla texture and behavior.
Is Low Fire safe to use in PvP?
It's a client-side visual resource pack that doesn't alter hitboxes, damage, or your appearance to other players, so it isn't a mechanical exploit. Some competitive servers with strict resource pack rules may still restrict it, so it's worth checking a server's policy first.
Does Low Fire need OptiFine?
No. Low Fire is a plain vanilla resource pack with no OptiFine, Iris, or mod loader dependency. Dropping it into the resource packs folder and selecting it in game is enough.
Which Minecraft version does Low Fire support?
The current build covers 1.20 through 26.2, the latest release as of this writing. Because it only edits one vanilla model file, it has stayed compatible across most point releases without frequent rebuilds.
Is Low Fire available for Bedrock Edition?
No. This project by Oculie is Java Edition only. A separate Bedrock pack also named Low Fire exists on CurseForge from a different creator, TheCubicCompany, and is not connected to this project.
