Campfires provide light, cook food, and deter hostile mobs.
What is a Campfire?
A versatile block serving as a light source, cooking station, signal beacon, and decorative element. It's fuel-less, with smoke rising to create a visible landmark. While safe to walk through (unless directly on it), prolonged contact damages mobs and players. The game also features the soul campfire, with a blue flame, repelling piglins, and emitting slightly less light.

Campfires can be extinguished with water or a shovel and re-lit using flint and steel, lava, or fire arrows.
Campfire Creation:
Surprisingly simple! Combine three logs (any type), three sticks, and one coal (or charcoal). Arrange them on a crafting table: logs on the bottom row, sticks in an upper triangle, and coal in the center.

- Signal Fire: Produces visible smoke, amplified by placing hay above it.
- Mob Trap: Inflicts damage to mobs standing on it.
- Decoration: Extinguish it for a decorative hearth or pathway element.

Campfire vs. Soul Campfire:
The soul campfire boasts a blue flame, repelling piglins, and emitting slightly less light. Its unique aesthetic suits Nether-themed builds, while the regular campfire offers brighter illumination for cozy settings.
