About
Lit It Up adds manual ignition to furnaces, making players light them before cooking rather than having them start automatically. Its early progression centers on Switchgrass, a biome-tinted plant that grows through three stages and yields Switchgrass Fiber from its later stages; the fiber is used to craft Sparkling Flint, which is consumed when used, while Flint and Steel works without fiber. Players can also ignite furnaces by striking flint held in both hands when Switchgrass Fiber or Baled Switchgrass is in the fuel slot, using a Golden Lighter with Curios installed, or applying an item enchanted with Fire Aspect. Furnaces placed over lava, fire, configured hot blocks, or lit blocks ignite automatically, unless rain or thunder exposes them to rain, in which case manual ignition is required. The mod also makes campfires and selected compatible modded blocks start unlit, and supports furnaces and related blocks from Furnace Mk2, Brick Furnace, Iron Furnaces, Better Furnaces Reforged, Immersive Engineering, The Aether, Farmer's Delight, Overgeared, Tough As Nails, Candlelight, and Crock Pot. In compatible furnace interfaces, an in-game guide provides quick, block-specific ignition tips, while advancements guide players through the mod's progression. Configuration lets players or modpack creators manage ignition items and Sparkling Flint requirements, control Switchgrass world generation, and adjust other settings.

No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.7 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
