The Campfire in Minecraft, introduced in version 1.14, is a versatile block that serves more than just a decorative purpose. Its multifaceted uses include damaging mobs and players, creating smoke signals for navigation, cooking food, and even pacifying bees. This comprehensive guide will detail the various methods to extinguish a Campfire, enhancing your gameplay and impressing your friends with your deep understanding of Minecraft's mechanics.
How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft
Extinguishing a fire in Minecraft can be done in three effective ways:
- Water Bucket: The most straightforward method is waterlogging. Simply take a water bucket and pour the water onto the same block as the Campfire to douse the flames.
- Splash Water Potion: For a more unconventional approach, you can use a Splash Water Potion. Toss it onto the fire to extinguish it. While this method is costlier in the early stages due to the need for gunpowder and glass, it's a fun alternative.
- Shovel: The simplest and most cost-effective method is using a shovel. Any type of shovel will work, even a wooden one. Just equip it and right-click (or press the left trigger on a console) on the Campfire to snuff out the fire.
How To Get A Campfire In Minecraft
Now that you're well-versed in extinguishing Campfires, let's explore how to acquire one:
- Natural Generation: Campfires can be found in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, as well as in camps within Ancient Cities. To collect a pre-placed Campfire, you'll need a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Without it, breaking the Campfire will yield only two coal in the Java version and four coal in the Bedrock version.
- Crafting: Crafting a Campfire is straightforward and requires basic materials like sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The choice between charcoal and soul sand will determine whether you craft a regular or soul fire Campfire.
- Trading: You can also trade with an apprentice fisherman to obtain a Campfire. This will cost you five emeralds in the Bedrock version and two emeralds in the Java version.
