[1.12.2] Fire Tick event

[jdawg3636]

Is there any clean/non-ASM way of overriding the behavior of fire spread? The goal of the mod (or the relevant portion) is to prevent fire spread (similar to vanilla gamerule doFireTick false), but only within a specific region. It seems to me that the vanilla gamerule is implemented through a simple if statement in the updateTick method of the BlockFire class, and thus I'm struggling to come up with a way to implement this behavior through Forge. I'm open to hacky workarounds, but would like to avoid ASM if at all possible.

Thanks in advance!

If everything else fails, you can registry replace BlockFire.

Got it - hoping not to resort to that. Currently considering using reflection to add behavior to updateTick method - still intrusive and suboptimal but it's the best I can think of atm. Any particular reason that anyone knows of that forge doesn't expose stuff like this through the event bus? I had considered submitting a PR but frankly I'm not super familiar with forge's patch system.

Probably because no-one's needed it before. If you want it, submit a PR. There are instructions on how to do here (1.13+ instructions here).
