This guide explores the versatile Campfire block in Minecraft, focusing on extinguishing it and obtaining one. The Campfire, introduced in version 1.14, offers various uses beyond decoration, including mob damage, smoke signaling, cooking, and bee calming.

How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft
Extinguishing a Campfire in Minecraft is achievable through three methods:
- Water Bucket: The simplest method involves using a water bucket to douse the flames. Simply pour the water onto the Campfire block.
- Splash Water Potion: A more resource-intensive approach utilizes a Splash Water Potion. Throw the potion onto the fire to extinguish it. Note that this requires gunpowder and glass, making it less efficient in the early game.
- Shovel: The most economical and often overlooked method employs a shovel (any type will suffice). Right-click (or use the left trigger on consoles) the Campfire with the shovel to extinguish it.
How To Get A Campfire In Minecraft
Acquiring a Campfire can be done in several ways:
- Natural Generation: Campfires naturally spawn in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, and within camps found in Ancient Cities. Remember that 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 straightforward crafting recipe combines sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The latter ingredient dictates whether you create a regular Campfire or a Soul Fire.
- Trading: Apprentice Fishermen will trade Campfires for emeralds (five in Bedrock Edition, two in Java Edition).
