Description
This mod adds the Inferno Fist Tag, a craftable inventory item (obtainable by crafting or via give commands) that grants fiery powers while it is in your inventory — it is no longer automatically given on first spawn. Punching with an empty hand while the Tag is in your inventory launches a fireball from your fist, and using/right-clicking the Tag unleashes a circular heatwave that ignites nearby floor blocks and sets nearby entities on fire; both abilities include sound, particles, action-bar feedback, and short cooldowns. Keep the Tag in your inventory to use the passive punch fireball and hold/use it to trigger the heatwave when you need area damage and ignition.

Inferno Fist Tag
Quickstart
- Craft the Inferno Fist Tag at a Crafting Table (see recipe below).
- Place it anywhere in your inventory — you do not need to hold it to activate its main power.
- With an empty hand selected, punch any entity or block to launch a fireball from your fist.
- To trigger the heat wave, hold the Tag in your hand and use it (right-click / tap the Use button) to scorch the floor and ignite everything nearby.
Overview
The Inferno Fist Tag is a single enchanted item that transforms you into a living fire hazard. Simply carrying it in your inventory lets you shoot fireballs with your bare fist, while actively using it detonates a circular wave of fire around your feet. Both abilities come with flame particles, fiery sound effects, and action-bar messages so you always know when a power has fired.
What It Adds
| Item | Stack Size | Found In |
|---|
| Inferno Fist Tag | 1 | Crafting Table or /give command |
The Tag has an enchanted glint and appears in the Equipment section of the creative inventory.
How To Use
Punch Fireball (Passive)
- Requirement: The Inferno Fist Tag is anywhere in your inventory; your selected hotbar slot must be empty.
- Trigger: Hit any entity or block with your bare fist.
- Effect: A dangerous fireball launches in the direction you are facing, accompanied by a flame particle burst and an ignite sound. Your action bar reads "Inferno Fist: Fireball launched!"
- Cooldown: ~0.5 seconds (10 ticks) between shots.
Heat Wave (Active)
- Requirement: Hold the Inferno Fist Tag in your hand.
- Trigger: Press Use (right-click on Java-style controls / tap Use on touch).
- Effect: A circular ring of fire, roughly 4 blocks in radius, erupts around you:
- Floor blocks within the ring are ignited (fire is placed on top of any solid surface).
- All nearby entities within ~5 blocks (except dropped items and yourself) are set on fire for 5 seconds.
- Lava particles and a blaze-shoot sound play at your location. Your action bar reads "Inferno Fist: Heat wave scorched the floor!"
- Cooldown: ~2.25 seconds (45 ticks) between activations.
Crafting And Obtaining
Craft the Inferno Fist Tag at a Crafting Table using blaze powder, magma cream, and paper:
You can also obtain it instantly with the command:
/give @s com_inferno_fist_tag_i4ktbwoh:inferno_fist_tag
Abilities And Mechanics
| Ability | Trigger | Range | Cooldown | Effect |
|---|
| Punch Fireball | Empty-fist hit (Tag in inventory) | Unlimited (projectile) | ~0.5 s | Launches a dangerous fireball in your look direction |
| Floor Heat Wave | Use/right-click the Tag | 4-block radius | ~2.25 s | Ignites floor blocks, sets nearby entities on fire for 5 s |
- The fireball is a wither-skull-type projectile — it can destroy blocks and deals significant damage. Aim carefully in enclosed spaces.
- The heat wave ignites only the ring around you; the block directly beneath your feet is unaffected, so you will not immediately catch yourself on fire.
- Both abilities display action-bar feedback, so you will know if an ability fired or is still on cooldown (no message appears while on cooldown).
Progression And Strategy
- Early engagement: Craft the Tag as soon as you have access to a Nether fortress for blaze powder and magma cubes for magma cream.
- Combat opener: Lead with the Heat Wave to set a group of mobs on fire, then follow up with rapid empty-fist punches to continuously launch fireballs at burning targets.
- Keep your hotbar slot empty when you want to spam fireballs — switching to the Tag itself disables the punch fireball since your fist is no longer empty.
- Watch your surroundings when using the heat wave indoors; fire spreads to flammable blocks, and the fireball can damage structures.
- Carry the Tag passively during exploration so you always have a ranged fire attack available at a moment's notice.
