Lynne Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 I updated to 1.16.0 stable, and started a new world. Got to the point where i started a pit kiln for pickaxe and hammer molds. The grass around it caught on fire. I didnt look around much after because i was making more molds. Then I noticed behind me the entire area was on fire as well as the trader. So I logged out of the world and deleted it. I have never had this happen to me before. Is there a command to turn off fire spread? I have googled for a couple days and cant find any command. Or is there a different way in the world to deal with pit kilns, like should i not do these inside a building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Option 1: remove flammable blocks rom the vicinity of the kiln. Like 2 blocks out in all directions will do. Option 2: house kilns inside a stone structure. I like to put them in a 3x3x3 cobblestone shell, the same one I use as a charcoal pit. Fits five kilns at once, and nothing outside ever caught fire, even though it was surrounded by grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornet Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I've had arguably worse, I had 4 barrels full of leather in strong tannin with one day of "brewing" left and I was relatively new to the pit kiln mechanic so it didn't occur to me they would spread fire as easily. Yep, all those barrels burned. Pretty fast too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Packed earth works as a fire ring too, and gives me something to do with all that low fertility soil I end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Stone walls are a great option for preventing pit kiln wild fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELFQUEEN Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 AND its looks good to, to use stone.... 5x5 then a "ring" on the outer end, then fill the 3x3 inside whit like dirt... and a 1x1 in the middle. Then cover the dirt whit stone, leave 1x1 so you can take out the dirt ( so you can use that space for the wood ) and then you just block it whit a 1x1 stone and let it "cook" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortMark Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 So I had pit kiln inside with mud walls. Replaced mud walls over time with wood. Lit pit kiln and this happened.... 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorfinn Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Peat? Lower temperature firewood is more forgiving. I find I need a fire ring 2 across for peat. Sometimes, anyway. Haven't figured out exactly which set of circumstances its a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Defense Ball Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 I have a pretty bad thing in my world, I set up shop in a forest with 50% more vegetation or whatever it’s call, and my pit kilms have started a fire that has cleared about 50-60 blocks in all detections and in some places the fire itself is 30 odd blocks long. Short story short the world is playable for about 15 minutes before black screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
