Minecraft: How To Extinguish Campfire

Minecraft Campfire Guide: Extinguishing and Obtaining

This guide details the multifaceted Minecraft Campfire, introduced in version 1.14. Beyond its decorative uses, the Campfire offers functionalities such as mob damage, smoke signaling, cooking, and even bee calming. This guide focuses on extinguishing and obtaining this versatile block.

How to Extinguish a Campfire

Three methods exist for extinguishing Campfires:

• Water Bucket: The simplest method involves using a water bucket to douse the flames. Simply pour water onto the Campfire block.
• Splash Water Potion: A more resource-intensive approach uses a Splash Water Potion. Throw the potion onto the Campfire to extinguish it. Note that this requires gunpowder and glass, making it less practical in the early game.
• Shovel: The least known, yet most cost-effective, method utilizes a shovel. Right-click (or use the left trigger on consoles) the Campfire with any shovel to extinguish it.

How to Obtain a Campfire

Acquiring a Campfire can be achieved in several ways:

• Natural Generation: Campfires naturally spawn in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, and within camps found in Ancient Cities. Remember, harvesting a pre-placed Campfire requires a tool enchanted with Silk Touch; otherwise, you'll only receive coal (two in Java Edition, four in Bedrock Edition).
• Crafting: A Campfire is readily 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).
