The Campfire, introduced in Minecraft version 1.14, is a versatile block that serves far more than just a decorative purpose. While many players use it to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their builds, its utility extends to damaging mobs and players, creating smoke signals for navigation, cooking food, and even pacifying bees. This guide will delve into the various methods to extinguish a Campfire, helping you harness its full potential and impress your fellow gamers with your in-depth game knowledge.
How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft
There are three effective ways to douse a Campfire in Minecraft:
- Water Bucket: The most straightforward method is to use a water bucket. Simply pour the water onto the block occupied by the Campfire to extinguish it through waterlogging.
- Splash Water Potion: For a more unconventional approach, you can use a Splash Water Potion. Toss it onto the Campfire to put out the flames. Be aware that this method is more resource-intensive early in the game, requiring gunpowder and glass.
- Shovel: Perhaps the least known but most cost-effective method is using a shovel. Equip any shovel, even a wooden one, and right-click (or press the left trigger on consoles) on the Campfire to snuff out the fire.
How To Get A Campfire In Minecraft
Understanding how to extinguish a Campfire is great, but knowing how to acquire one is equally important. Here are the ways to obtain a Campfire:
- Natural Generation: You can find Campfires in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, as well as in camps within Ancient Cities. To harvest a pre-existing Campfire, you'll need a tool enchanted with Silk Touch. Without it, breaking a Campfire will yield only two coal in the Java Edition and four coal in the Bedrock Edition.
- Crafting: Crafting a Campfire is straightforward, requiring sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The choice of charcoal or soul sand will determine whether you craft a regular or soul fire Campfire.
- Trading: An alternative method is to trade with an apprentice fisherman. In the Bedrock Edition, this will cost you five emeralds, whereas in the Java Edition, it's a more affordable two emeralds.
