The Campfire, a versatile block introduced in Minecraft version 1.14, offers more than just decorative appeal. It's a multi-tool capable of mob damage, smoke signaling, cooking, and even bee calming. This guide details the methods for extinguishing a Campfire, maximizing its potential, and impressing your fellow players.
How To Extinguish a Campfire in Minecraft
Three methods exist for putting out a Campfire's flames:
- Water Bucket: The simplest method involves using a water bucket to douse the flames. Simply pour the water onto the Campfire block.
- Splash Water Potion: A Splash Water Potion, though more resource-intensive (requiring gunpowder and glass), can also extinguish the fire. Throw the potion onto the Campfire.
- Shovel: The most economical and often overlooked method is using a shovel. Right-click (or use the left trigger on consoles) the Campfire with any 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 camps in Ancient Cities. Note that harvesting a pre-placed Campfire requires a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment; otherwise, only coal will be obtained (two in Java Edition, four in Bedrock Edition).
- Crafting: A Campfire is 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 in Bedrock Edition, two in Java Edition).
