Campfire Minecraft

To make a campfire in Minecraft, you need to 3 sticks, 1 piece of coal (or the charcoal) And 3 logs of wood, to be placed in the production table.

This block arrived with the Version 1.14 in the game, so don't be surprised if you can't find it in older versions.

There is also a rarer variant: the bonfire of souls, where coal is replaced by sand of souls or the Land of Souls.

The different ways of making a campfire

You can make two types of campfires : THE traditional campfire and the bonfire of souls. Both are made the same way, with just one ingredient difference.

The main difference lies in the light and the damage: a conventional fire emits a light level 15 (the game's maximum), compared to just 10 for soul fire. Soul fire also deals twice as much damage, and Piglins flee from any item containing soul fire, including the soul campfire.

How do you build a classic campfire in Minecraft?

To build a traditional campfire, you'll need three things:

• 3 sticks
• 1 piece of coal Where charcoal
• 3 logs of wood

You can replace the logs with any of these types of wood:

• Log
• Debarked log
• Stem
• Stripped wire
• Wood
• Debarked wood
• Hyphae
• Exposed hyphae

The provision is not not in a cross shape. In the manufacturing table, arranges the elements as follows:

• Top line: 1 stick in the center.
• Midfield: 1 stick, then the coal (or charcoal), then 1 stick.
• Bottom line: them 3 logs of wood side by side.

How do you make a soul campfire in Minecraft?

the bonfire of souls It's made exactly the same way as the classic model. You simply replace the charcoal with a block linked to the souls:

• 3 sticks
• 1 Sand of Souls Where Land of Souls
• 3 logs of wood

The types of wood that can be used are the same as for a traditional fire. The sand of souls or the Land of Souls simply takes the place of the coal in the center of the grate.

How do I retrieve a campfire in Minecraft?

A campfire can exist in two states: lit Where off. When turned on, it emits light and cooks food. When turned off, it remains a simple decorative block, without any flame or smoke. Retrieving the block itself requires a little trick; otherwise, you'll just end up with charcoal.

Relighting a Campfire That Has Gone Out

If you accidentally put out your campfire (with water), there are several ways to relight :

• Lighter: Use it directly on the block. This is the most reliable method.
• Flaming Arrow: shoots a flaming arrow from a bow Nice to meet you on the board.
• Lava or magma : Place the campfire next to a block of lava or magma.
• Ghast fireball: A ball fired by a ghast that hits the block also turns it back on.

Get an extinguished campfire

The Campfires can be dangerous to be retrieved as a block. There is no no specific recipe for an extinguished campfire. To retrieve the block intact, break a campfire with an enchanted axe Toucher de soie. It's the only enchantment that returns the block to you as an item, ready to be placed again.

Without this enchantment, the campfire only gives off charcoal :

• 2 pieces of charcoal on Java Edition
• 4 pieces of charcoal on Bedrock

You can also find them naturally in villages. Campfires appear in taiga villages (and snowy taiga villages in the Bedrock Edition only), often placed in the center as a gathering spot.

All you have to do is break it to get it. Once you have the block, put it wherever you want and turn it back on with a lighter.

Possible uses and interactions of the campfire

A campfire is much more than just a decoration. Here are all its practical uses, from the most common to the most technical.

1. Generate light

The primary purpose of a campfire is to be a light source reliable. A traditional fire emits a light level of 15, which is the maximum possible in the game. This is the light source the most powerful one available.

the bonfire of souls provides less light, with a light level of 10. It's important to know this difference before choosing your light source. If you want more options, check out how to make torches.

2. Cook food

You can cook some food directly on the hot plate, without fuel. Compatible foods include:

• Raw beef
• Raw chicken
• Raw pork
• Raw Lamb
• Raw cod
• Raw salmon
• The Potato
• Seaweed

You can ask up to 4 foods simultaneously on the block. The 30-second cooking time, which is three times as long as a blast furnace, but it doesn't require any charcoal. To find out which foods are best to cook, check out the Food tier list on Minecraft.

3. Send up smoke signals

The Burning campfires produce smoke particles that go up to 10 blocks high. This makes it easy to spot your base from a distance. To go even higher, place a bale of straw under the boulder: the smoke then rises up to 24 blocks high, ideal for sending real signals.

Some details about these smoke particles:

• They can't pass through solid blocks and form a thin cloud just below them.
• Campfires produce more smoke in the rain, like lava.
• A campfire can also emit embers, still in the manner of lava.

4. Inflict damage

When it's lit, a campfire deals fire damage to any creature standing on it, even underwater. There are only a few exceptions:

• The Shulkers
• The Piglins zombified
• The Guardians

The classic fire deals 1/2 heart of damage every half-second. The Campfire of Souls deals double that—1 heart every half-second—and this applies to all creatures. Good news: the campfires do not set creatures ablaze and do not destroy objects on the ground, even though the damage is indeed fire damage.

To protect yourself from this damage, there are several options:

• The effect Resistance or enchantments Protection and Fire Protection.
• A fire resistance potion.
• Regarding the Enchanted Boots with Frosty Soles.
• Blocks that are tall enough to prevent contact (a hatch or a low block is not sufficient).

5. Retrieve objects with a funnel

Campfires (classic, like souls) don't have an external inventory, so you can't place food on them using a funnel.

However, you can place a funnel right below the block to automatically collect items dropped on it, including drops from a creature that dies there. This is useful for passive mob farms.

6. Harvesting honey

Build a campfire under a hive or one honeycomb to collect vials and honeycombs without upsetting the bees. Caution: There must be open space between the fire and the hive, unless it is a mat (in the edition Java).

7. Producing sounds

You can build a campfire under a musical block to make it produce sounds of bass.

8. Interact with a piston

The behavior varies depending on the version:

• On Bedrock : A piston or a sticky piston can push a campfire to destroy it, but a sticky piston cannot pull it.
• On Java : No interaction with the pistons. The campfire does not move and is not destroyed.
