What is Campfire in Minecraft?
A campfire is a cozy and useful block that provides light, cooks food, and sends up a tall column of smoke. It looks like a small, contained fire built with logs. Its main purpose is to be a versatile utility block for adventurers. You can cook up to four pieces of raw food on it at once, and it does not require any fuel like a furnace does. It also provides a light level of 15, making it a great way to light up your base and keep monsters away. The smoke signal it produces can be seen from very far away, making it an excellent landmark for finding your way back home. It is a must have for any campsite, rustic base, or for anyone who just wants a cozy fireplace.
How to get Campfire in Minecraft
The only way to get a campfire is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe is fairly simple and requires materials you can get early in the game. You will need three sticks, one piece of coal or charcoal, and three logs or wood blocks of any type. You can get sticks and logs from any tree. You can get coal by mining coal ore, or you can make charcoal by smelting a log in a furnace. Once you have all your ingredients, open a crafting table. Place the three logs along the bottom row. Place the coal or charcoal in the very center. Then, place the three sticks on the sides and top of the coal, forming a triangle shape. This will give you one campfire. You can also craft a soul campfire using soul sand or soul soil instead of coal.
How to use Campfire in Minecraft
A campfire has many great uses. To cook food, simply right click the campfire while holding up to four pieces of raw meat or fish. The items will appear on the corners of the campfire and will slowly cook. After about 30 seconds, they will pop off as cooked food. A campfire is also a great light source. To use it as a smoke signal, just let it burn. The smoke column goes up 10 blocks. If you place a hay bale underneath the campfire, the smoke signal will go up even higher, to 25 blocks. You can put out a campfire by using a water bucket or a shovel on it, and you can relight it with a flint and steel. A campfire also has a special interaction with bees; placing one under a beehive will calm the bees so you can safely harvest honey.
