Scorch

Scorch is a food item that can also be grown as a crop. It is gotten by breaking Hell Roots found in the Nether.

The Scorch can be planted like a normal crop, but it will only grow on lava hydrated Industrial Soil.

The Scorch crop will damage anything on top of it, and have a fire animation. The damage is the same as fire damage, meaning mobs with fire immunity will not take damage, but it doesn't actually light the mob on fire, which means it will not cook the meat drops from passive mobs. It also sets you on fire when eaten, but restores a lot of hunger in exchange.
