Campfire

Obtaining

A campfire is crafted from sticks, coal, and a log, stem, or wood block in a crafting table. Any matching wood family can be used for the three lower fuel slots.

Breaking

A campfire can be mined by hand or with any tool; an axe breaks it fastest. A normal break drops two charcoal, while a tool with Silk Touch preserves the campfire as a block item. Breaking the block also drops food that was still cooking on it.

Usage

A lit campfire emits light level 15, cooks food without fuel, and produces a smoke signal. It can hold up to four food items at once; each item takes 30 seconds to cook. Unlike ordinary fire, its flame never spreads. A hay block below it extends the smoke signal to roughly 24 blocks, and a nearby campfire can calm bees while their nest is harvested.

Campfires can be lit with flint and steel, a fire charge, or a flaming arrow. Waterlogging, a splash water bottle, or using a shovel extinguishes the fire. A lit campfire damages entities standing in its block, but it does not set them permanently on fire and therefore does not cook mob drops.

Sounds

Campfires crackle while lit and use extinguish sounds when water or a shovel puts them out. Food placed on the block uses the familiar cooking interaction sounds.

Behavior

Smoke rises about 10 blocks from a normal campfire and about 24 blocks when a hay block is underneath. Solid blocks immediately above it can interrupt the column. Rain does not extinguish a campfire, but water in the same block does. Placing the block in water creates a waterlogged, unlit campfire; a fire projectile can relight a dry unlit campfire. The related soul campfire uses the same interaction model with blue fire and different damage and light values.

Data values

The block identifier is `minecraft:campfire`. Its important block states are `lit`, `signal_fire`, `waterlogged`, and `facing`. The four cooking-slot properties are used by the block entity to render food on top.

History

The campfire keeps the role of a fuel-free cooking and smoke signal block. Its current implementation stores four cooking inputs in a campfire block entity and shares the interaction model with the soul campfire variant.

Trivia

A lit campfire is a signal block as well as a cooker: a hay block below it changes the smoke particle to the tall signal variant. Waterlogging and extinguishing remove the lit state without turning the block into a furnace.

The campfire page combines the Java block and block-entity implementation with its recipe, loot, damage type, and block-state definitions. Together they document the four cooking slots, lit and waterlogged states, signal-fire flag, and local drop rules.

Cooking

Raw beef, chicken, rabbit, porkchop, mutton, cod, salmon, potatoes, and kelp can be placed on a lit campfire. Four items cook simultaneously, then pop out when finished. A hopper below the block can collect those drops, but cannot insert food into the cooking slots.
