The Campfire, introduced in Minecraft version 1.14, is a versatile block that goes beyond mere decoration. It serves multiple functions, including dealing damage to mobs and players, creating smoke signals for navigation, cooking food, and even pacifying bees. This guide will explore the various methods to extinguish a Campfire, enhancing your gameplay and impressing your fellow players with your Minecraft expertise.
How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft
There are three effective ways to extinguish a fire in Minecraft:
Water Bucket: You can douse the flames by waterlogging the Campfire. Simply fill a water bucket and pour it directly onto the Campfire block.
Splash Water Potion: Another option is to use a Splash Water Potion, which you throw at the fire. This method can be costly early in the game, requiring gunpowder and glass.
Shovel: The simplest and most budget-friendly method is using any type of shovel. Just equip it and right-click (or press the left trigger on consoles) on the Campfire to put it out.
How To Get A Campfire In Minecraft
Understanding how to extinguish a Campfire is valuable, but knowing how to acquire one is equally important. Here are the ways to obtain a Campfire in Minecraft:
Natural Generation: You can find Campfires in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, as well as in camps within Ancient Cities. To collect an already placed Campfire, you'll need a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment. 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 the last ingredient determines whether you'll craft a regular Campfire or a soul fire Campfire.
Trading: You can trade with an apprentice fisherman to acquire a Campfire. This trade costs five emeralds in the Bedrock edition and two emeralds in the Java edition.
