The Minecraft Campfire, introduced in version 1.14, is more than just a decorative block. It's a surprisingly versatile item with uses beyond its cozy appearance. Damage mobs, create smoke signals, cook food, or even soothe angry bees – the Campfire offers a surprising range of functionality. This guide focuses on extinguishing a Campfire, a crucial step to unlocking its full potential.

How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft

Extinguishing a Campfire in Minecraft is straightforward, with three effective methods:

  • Water Bucket: The simplest method involves using a water bucket. Simply pour the water onto the Campfire to douse the flames.

  • Splash Water Potion: A Splash Water Potion provides another solution. However, this method requires gunpowder and glass, making it less efficient in the early game.

  • Shovel: This is perhaps the least-known, but most readily available method. Equip any shovel (even a wooden one) and right-click (or use the left trigger on consoles) on the Campfire to extinguish it.

How To Get A Campfire In Minecraft

Now you know how to put out a Campfire; let's explore how to obtain one. There are several ways to acquire this useful block:

  • Natural Generation: Campfires naturally spawn in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, as well as within camps found in Ancient Cities. Note: harvesting a pre-placed Campfire requires a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment. Without it, you'll only receive two coal (Java Edition) or four coal (Bedrock Edition).

  • Crafting: Crafting a Campfire is relatively easy, requiring sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The choice of final ingredient determines whether you create a regular Campfire or a Soul Fire.

  • Trading: Apprentice Fishermen will trade Campfires for emeralds. The cost varies between two emeralds (Java Edition) and five emeralds (Bedrock Edition).
