🌟 What is doFireTick?
doFireTick is a gamerule that determines whether fire can spread or not. By default in Minecraft, this option is enabled, meaning fire can spread and destroy flammable blocks, like wood.

🚀 How to Modify doFireTick
Access your Minecraft server console.
Use the following command to enable or disable the gamerule:

To enable normal fire behavior (spread):
gamerule doFireTick true
To disable fire spread:
gamerule doFireTick false
🛠️ Usage Example
Suppose you’re building a wooden structure and don’t want fire to accidentally destroy it. Simply disable fire spread with the command:
gamerule doFireTick false
This way, any fire you start or encounter in the world won’t spread to other blocks.
📝 Additional Notes
If doFireTick is enabled and you manually extinguish a fire, it could reignite if nearby blocks continue to spread fire.
When doFireTick is disabled, fire can still ignite, but it won’t spread to adjacent blocks.
This simple setting can prevent many problems, especially if you have wooden or flammable structures. 😎
