Have you felt it odd that there are no consequences to having open firepits indoors? Are you looking to up the realism factor? Real Smoke is here to provide a slightly more hardcore experience.. fire sources produce physics-based smoke. This is not merely a particle effect; the smoke will rise, spread, sink, move around obstacles, and blow in the wind. But it will also necessitate that many of your workstations be placed outdoors or given a proper chimney, as the smoke is not only a nuisance but can build up and put out fires, or even cause suffocation to players!

&nbsp;

Yes, it is safe for existing worlds to add or remove Real Smoke. Before removing it, please first use the command "/realsmoke disable" to despawn the smoke entities.&nbsp;

If you're wondering about performance impact: it's probably far less than you would expect. Give it a try.

&nbsp;

What does Real Smoke change?

• Smoke that requires somewhere to exit; housing firepits, forges, torches, etc will require some care and consideration
• Dense smoke causes eventual player asphyxiation and can extinguish some fire sources
• Tags some blocks as "porous" or "semiporous" which allows smoke to travel through them
• Adds functionality to chimneys
• That's really all! But I believe you'll be surprised by just how much that changes the atmosphere &amp; gameplay experience

Want to know more about the Smoke?

The smoke is actually a type of "entity" just as a creature or player is an entity, but its movements are directed by physics. You cannot see the smoke entity, only the particles that it produces. Smoke has physical properties: amount, temperature, carbon, moisture, and unburnt particulates, which are determined by the fire that produced them, and they change over time. So if you pay close attention to the visible particles they'll tell a story about where the smoke came from &amp; their journey!

Note in case you're using volumetric cloud rendering in the graphics settings: When looking at clouds in darkness, it causes some very odd effects across all parts of the game, such as a strange glow visible in glass and particles, including smoke particles.&nbsp;
