Campfires provide light, cook food, and deter hostile mobs.
What is a Campfire?
A versatile block serving multiple functions: illumination, cooking, signaling, and even mechanical/decorative applications. Fuel-less, its smoke creates a visible landmark. Walking near it is safe, but prolonged contact inflicts damage on players and mobs. The game also features soul campfires – blue-flamed, piglin-repelling, and slightly dimmer.

Extinguish with water or a shovel; relight with flint and steel, lava, or fire arrows.
Campfire Construction:
Incredibly simple! Combine three logs (any type), three sticks, and one coal (or charcoal).

Arrange the logs in the crafting table's bottom row, sticks in an upper triangle, and coal in the center.

Note: No "hand-starting" fires in Minecraft!
Campfire Functions:
- Illumination & Mob Deterrent: Provides torch-level light, repelling most mobs (though creepers remain a threat).
- Cooking: Cooks up to four food items simultaneously, fuel-free. Remember to retrieve cooked food promptly!
- Signaling: Produces visible smoke; amplified by placing hay above it.
- Mob Trap: Inflicts damage to mobs standing on it.
- Decoration: Extinguished campfires offer attractive textures for building.

Advanced Techniques & Tips:

- Decorative Extinguished Campfires: Use a shovel to extinguish for building materials.
- Automatic Mob Trap: Deals consistent damage, preserving item drops (ideal for farms).
- Fire-Safe Structures: Campfires won't ignite nearby flammable blocks.
- Controllable Fire: Extinguish and relight as needed.

Campfire vs. Soul Campfire:
Key differences: Soul campfires have blue flames, emit less light, repel piglins, and offer unique mechanical applications. Aesthetically, regular campfires are better for cozy settings; soul campfires suit Nether-themed builds.
