Comments
I think they are referring to the texture templates being updated, I don't think that will be necessary as you can use a texturepack site and collect the texture templates from there (I use TextureMC) go intothe preferences and upload the textures as texture templates.
You can achieve all components of fire (spreading, animation) using procedures already. You may need to do some hacking if you also want custom burning logic of the entities, though
