Whiff O’ Wisp

Overview

Candlestick makers, rejoice! This mod comes in two parts:

The Whiff

Scented candles cause special effects to living entities in a very small radius when lit. They require netherwax, which comes from smelting netherwart in a furnace.

[1.19.2] Unlike regular candles, placing multiple scented candles in the same block makes for a larger-appearing and singular candle.

[1.20.1] Up to four scented candles can be placed in a single block, like vanilla candles.

I’d like to credit Buzzier Bees for doing scented candles first, even if the feature is no longer implemented. Making unique textures and blocks corresponding to every small flower must’ve been a stressful endeavor.

The Bumblezone also has a potion-based iteration on the idea (incense candles), which is much more internally consistent. Feel free to check them out and see which you prefer!

The Wisp [Removed as of 1.2.0]

Using a pair of shears on a candle will trim its wick, allowing it burn cleanly. It will no longer emit smoky particles, increasing its utility in daintier builds. Trimming scented candles also greatly reduces their area of effect.

Includes compatibility with Soul Candles from Buzzier Bees (or Jaden’s Nether Expansion), as well as skull candles/candle holders from Supplementaries/Amendments!

Candle cakes cannot be trimmed. Steve doesn’t like the idea of getting soot all over his food.

Config

You can alter the following:

• Scented candles affect living entities. (default: true)

Huge thanks to TheCraftyGhost and noelle (scented candle blocks), TuttaLaGuapa (netherwax), and SuperMightByte (scented candle items) for their texture work!!

Feel free to leave any suggestions and feedback in the issue tracker! I think scented candles (recipes, effects, etc.) could especially use some opinionated feedback.
