The Minecraft Campfire, introduced in version 1.14, is a versatile block often used decoratively, but boasting numerous hidden functionalities. It can damage mobs and players, create smoke signals, cook food, and even soothe bees. This guide details three methods for extinguishing a Campfire, maximizing its potential and impressing fellow players.
How To Extinguish a Campfire in Minecraft
Three methods exist for extinguishing Campfires:
- Water Bucket: The simplest method involves using a water bucket to douse the flames. Simply pour water onto the Campfire block.
- Splash Water Potion: Alternatively, a Splash Water Potion can be thrown onto the Campfire. Note that this requires gunpowder and glass, making it less efficient in the early game.
- Shovel: The most economical and often overlooked method utilizes any shovel (even a wooden one). Right-click (or use the left trigger on consoles) the Campfire with the equipped shovel to extinguish it.
How To Obtain a Campfire in Minecraft
Acquiring a Campfire can be achieved in several ways:
- Natural Generation: Campfires naturally spawn in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, and within Ancient City camps. Remember, harvesting a pre-placed Campfire requires a Silk Touch enchanted tool; otherwise, you'll only receive two coal (Java Edition) or four coal (Bedrock Edition).
- Crafting: Campfires are easily crafted using sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The latter ingredient determines whether a regular or soul fire Campfire is created.
- Trading: Apprentice fishermen will trade Campfires for emeralds; five emeralds in Bedrock Edition and two in Java Edition.
