A campfire may go a long way toward filling up space in your designs if you want to add a little decoration. Campfires may be used to cook food, blow smoke up a chimney, and emit an amount of light comparable to a glowstone. The crackle of a campfire can also be used to create a relaxing atmosphere in your house. Campfires are versatile ornamental blocks that can be used to fill in gaps in your buildings or simply add atmosphere to them.

In Minecraft, a campfire can serve a variety of purposes. It is primarily used as a decorative item that can light up the environment around you and attempt to replicate real-world fire by creating a trail of smoke into the air, making it even more lifelike. Its ability to illuminate the environment is comparable to that of a torch. It can’t be easily dismantled and reassembled in the inventory, therefore it’s only good for lighting up your home base.

Campfires are helpful for more than just lighting up the atmosphere! They have the ability to melt up to three snow blocks around it. Furthermore, campfires can be used to cook raw food as a source of heat. When you right-click on the fire, up to four uncooked food items will appear around it and begin cooking simultaneously. The cooked version will show up, ready for collection, after 30 seconds.

Lit campfires have a brightness of 15, whereas lit soul campfires have a brightness of 10. 

When you place a campfire, it is automatically ignited. When /gamerule mob griefing is true, campfires can be manually ignited by using or dispensing flint and steel, firing it with a flaming arrow, or using or dispensing fire charges, blazing fireballs, and ghast fireballs. Campfires can also be ignited in Bedrock Edition by using a fire-enchanted item or standing on it while it is burning.

A campfire can be extinguished by waterlogging (pouring water on the same block), splashing it with a water bottle, or digging it out with a shovel. Campfires can also be put out in Bedrock Edition by constructing a water source or letting water flow through the space above the campfire. Rain does not put out campfires like it does torches. 

Using flint and steel on the side of a wet or burning campfire instead ignites the nearby air block. When a campfire block is shattered, any items cooking on it fall to the ground.

Smoke particles from campfires can float up to 10 blocks before dissipating. The campfire becomes a signal fire if a hay bale is placed underneath it, and the smoke instead floats up 24 blocks. A campfire’s smoke particles can go partially through one block directly above it, but not more than one block directly above it. Despite the fact that a trap door is narrower than a slab, it can totally stop the smoke, preventing it from rising.

Similar to lava, campfires release additional smoke particles when it rains. Campfires, like lava, occasionally release ember particles.

Players can obtain honey bottles or honeycomb without agitating the bees by lighting a bonfire under a beehive or bee nest. Between the campfire and the beehive or bee nest, there must be clear air.

Now that you know about Campfire, let’s start making it.

Items required to make a Campfire

First of all, to craft anything in Minecraft, one requires a Crafting Table.

Making crafting tables is as simple as placing a block of wood in the 2×2 crafting area and cutting it into four wooden planks. These four wooden planks are re-positioned in the crafting area, creating a crafting table.

Tables for crafting can be put on the ground. They display a 3×3 grid that may be used to make several of the game’s items.

You can also find Crafting Tables in Villages.

To make a campfire, you will need to combine the following materials in the Crafting Table:

  • Three Wooden Sticks

The material you’ll need to build sticks is the wood logs from any type of tree. Find a tree and chop down wood logs with your iron axe.

After that, you’ll need to build wooden planks on the crafting table. Open the 3*3 crafting grid on the crafting table and place wood blocks in the center or any cell of the grid. Wood planks can be found in the crafting table’s right-hand box.

Make two sticks out of two wooden planks. Place one plank in the middlebox of the upper row of the Crafting Table. Place the second plank in the middlebox of the middle row of the Crafting Table. You’ve now created a bundle of sticks, which you should drag from the results box into your inventory.

  • One Coal or One Charcoal

To make Charcoal, you will need a wooden log and fuel. Place a wooden log in the top cell of the furnace GUI to make charcoal. Fill the lower compartment with the fuel of your choice (coal, wood, etc.). Allow the middle arrow to fill up before moving on. Simply click the green dye and drag it into your inventory once your charcoal has been created.

To get Coal, you will need to mine. Coal ore is easy to find because it is found in enormous amounts. Coal ore is usually found between 4 and 15 blocks below ground level. To mine for coal, you must use a pickaxe to dig up the coal ore, as any other instrument will not cause the coal to fall.

  • Three Wooden Blocks or Three Logs of any Wood

Last but not least, logs or wood from any of the following species are required: Oak, Birch, Spruce, Dark Oak, Acacia, and Jungle. The basic approach to obtaining logs is the same. To begin, you must first locate a tree. Equip your axe, however, you can do it with just your hand if you have some time. Hold a left-click on a block of the tree’s trunk. A block of the log will fall depending on your axe’s tier.
