Fire Arrows Addon

This addon makes it so that any type of arrow shot by a player will start a fire on the block it lands on. This is not to be confused with the Flame Enchantment which affects mobs and TNT.

Changelog

Heres the thing,
You can put down a command block on repeat and put the following command:
/execute @e[type=Arrow] ~ ~ ~ setblock ~ ~ ~ fire
So its practically useless...

These days, you are right. However, when I initially released this back in 2016 that was not a possibility. Also, I updated it just for old times sake :)

Also, a limitation (or feature, depending how you look at it) to your method is that if you were to fire an arrow level with other blocks on the same y-axis, it would light every block it flew over on fire. This addon makes it so only the block the arrow lands on lights on fire. Not to mention the fact that your solution would allow arrows shot by skeletons to light fires as well, and that thought scares me.

Huh. Practically useless. We already have flame, so why (other than for crossbows)? I would hate to rate 1 star on a useless Addon.

I recommend you check out this website, as I think you need some practice: https://www.k5learning.com/reading-comprehension-worksheets/fifth-grade-5.

To quote the text that I typed in the brief description of the addon:

"This addon makes it so that any type of arrow shot by a player will start a fire on the block it lands on. This is not to be confused with the Flame Enchantment which affects mobs and TNT."

The flame enchantment does not start an actual fire on the block it lands on, it can ignite TNT and light mobs on fire. This addon makes it so the arrow lights an ACTUAL fire on the block it lands on.

Thank you for your feedback though! Have a good one!
Is it work on V1.4.4.0?

I just tested it for the beta version 1.2.0.22 and it worked fine. Arrows are a bit "heavy" but this file still works fine.
The mod was okay, but it kept setting random things on fire. I did have a lot of fun setting creepers on fire though!

This add-on allows arrows to light any block they land on, on fire. Fire arrows currently only put fire on entities and light TNT. This allows any block to create fire on hit.
