A campfire is a block that can be used to cook food or act as a light source or smoke signal.

A soul campfire is a variant of the campfire with light blue flames.

Obtaining

Breaking

Campfires can be mined with any tool, or without a tool, but axes are the fastest. A regular campfire drops 2 charcoal, a soul campfire drops soul soil, and either one also drops any items placed on it. If mined with a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, the campfire instead drops itself as an item.

In Bedrock Edition, either kind of campfire can also be broken by pushing it with a piston or sticky piston. When broken this way, it drops 1 charcoal rather than 2. Pistons cannot move or break campfires in Java Edition.

Trading

In Bedrock Edition, apprentice-level fisherman villagers have a 50% chance of selling a campfire for 5 emeralds.

In Java Edition, apprentice-level fisherman villagers have a 23 chance of selling a campfire for 2 emeralds.

Usage

Lit campfires emit a light level of 15 and lit soul campfires emit a light level of 10.

Campfires are lit by default when placed. Campfires can be manually lit by using or dispensing flint and steel on them, shooting it with a flaming arrow, or using or dispensing fire charges, blaze fireballs, and ghast fireballs when /gamerule mobgriefing is true. In Bedrock Edition, campfires can also be lit by using an item enchanted with fire aspect, or stepping on it while burning.

Campfires can be extinguished by waterlogging it (placing water in the same block space), throwing a splash water bottle on it, or using a shovel on it. As with torches, rain does not extinguish campfires.

Any items cooking on a campfire always drop when the campfire block is broken.

Particles and smoke signals

Campfires produce smoke particles that float up around 10 blocks before disappearing. If a hay bale is placed below, the campfire becomes a signal fire and the smoke floats up 24 blocks instead.

Campfire smoke particles can partially pass through a block directly above it, but do not pass through blocks more than one block directly above it.

Although a trap door is thinner than a slab, a trap door can block the smoke completely, preventing the smoke from floating up.

Campfires emit extra smoke particles during rain, similar to lava.

Campfires also emit occasional ember particles, similarly to lava. Soul campfires do not emit embers because they are blue.[1]

Damage

Campfires damage mobs standing on top of them even if underwater (with exceptions such as shulkers, zombified piglins or guardians), but only if lit, campfires deal 19px and soul campfires deal 29px of damage every tick (although damage immunity reduces this to once every half-second). It also adds 160 fire ticks (8 seconds of burning).‌[Bedrock Edition only] In Java Edition, campfires do not cause lasting burning nor destroy items. Damage taken is considered fire damage and is reduced by armor (which loses durability), the Resistance potion effects, and the Protection and Fire Protection enchantments. The player can avoid being damaged at all, either by using a potion of fire resistance or wearing Frost Walker boots.

Regardless of height, all blocks prevent damage done to mobs or players above campfires. The campfire deals damage only to entities occupying its block.

Cooking

The player can place raw food on a lit campfire by using the food item on it. Up to four food items can be placed on a single campfire, which cooks the items simultaneously. On a campfire, foods produce small smoke particles, indicating they are being cooked. Food items take 30 seconds (600 ticks) to cook, compared to 10 seconds for furnaces or 5 seconds for smokers. Assuming that one uses all four slots to cook at once, the Campfire is, therefore, more efficient than furnaces (taking 10 seconds less per four items and no fuel) for cooking, but must be watched so as to pick up the food and refill it once it is done. It is slower than a smoker by about ten seconds, but its lack of fuel consumption could be seen as a worthwhile trade-off. Once finished cooking, items pop off the campfire. If the campfire is extinguished while cooking food, it resets as if it had not been cooked at all. Unlike other blocks that can cook food, campfires do not require any kind of fuel. Food items can be placed on an unlit campfire. Campfires do not have an external inventory.

Other items can be placed on campfires using external editors, mods or add-ons.

Bees

Placing a campfire under a beehive or bee nest allows players to harvest honey bottles or honeycomb without provoking the bees. It should be noted that there must be unobstructed air between the campfire and the beehive or beenest. Smoke may travel through a solid block placed above the campfire, this will not have the desired effect on bees even though the smoke seems to reach the hive.

Piglins

Lit soul campfires repel piglins that are not currently attacking. This occurs when the piglin is within an 8 block radius of the soul campfire.

Light source

Standard lit campfires emit a light level of 15, while soul campfires emit a light level of 10. Like most other sources of light, campfires melt nearby snow and ice.

Note Blocks

Campfires can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Converting soul sand to soul soil

Soul campfires can be used to convert soul sand into soul soil. If a soul campfire is crafted using soul sand, placed, and then broken without Silk Touch, that soul campfire drops soul soil.[2]

Piston interactivity

In Bedrock Edition, pushing a campfire or soul campfire with a piston or sticky piston breaks it. Unlike other methods, breaking with a piston drops only one charcoal instead of two. Campfires cannot be pulled by a sticky piston.

In Java Edition, a campfire cannot be pushed by a piston nor pushed nor pulled by a sticky piston.

Trivia

  • If the campfire is waterlogged, already lit, or something flammable is adjacent to the nearby air block, using the flint and steel on the side of the campfire sets the adjacent air block on fire instead.
