Extinguish Campfire: Minecraft IGNITE Guide

Minecraft Campfire Mastery: Extinguishing and Obtaining

The Minecraft Campfire, introduced in version 1.14, is more than just a decorative block. It offers a surprising array of functions, from mob damage to cooking and even bee calming. This guide focuses on two key aspects: extinguishing campfires and acquiring them. Mastering these will unlock the Campfire's full potential.

Extinguishing a Campfire

Three methods exist to put out a Minecraft Campfire:

• Water Bucket: The simplest method involves using a water bucket. Simply pour water onto the Campfire block to extinguish the flames.
• Splash Water Potion: A more resource-intensive approach uses a Splash Water Potion. Throw the potion onto the fire to douse it. Note that this requires gunpowder and glass, making it less practical in the early game.
• 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 instantly.

Obtaining a Campfire

Now you know how to put out a campfire; let's explore how to get one:

• Natural Generation: Campfires naturally spawn in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, and within camps in Ancient Cities. Important: Harvesting a pre-placed Campfire requires a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Without it, you'll only receive coal (two in Java Edition, four in Bedrock Edition).
• Crafting: Crafting a Campfire is straightforward, requiring sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The latter ingredient determines whether you create a regular or soul fire Campfire.
• Trading: Apprentice Fishermen will trade campfires for emeralds. The cost is five emeralds in Bedrock Edition and two in Java Edition.
