The Campfire, introduced in Minecraft version 1.14, is a versatile block that serves more than just a decorative purpose. While it's commonly used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your builds, it offers a range of functionalities that can significantly enhance your gameplay. You can use it to inflict damage on mobs and players, create smoke signals to navigate vast landscapes, cook food, and even pacify bees. Mastering how to extinguish a Campfire can unlock its full potential and impress your fellow players with your game knowledge.

How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft

There are several effective methods to extinguish a fire in Minecraft:

• Water Bucket: The most straightforward method involves waterlogging the Campfire. Simply fill a bucket with water and pour it over the Campfire to douse the flames.
• Splash Water Potion: For a more unconventional approach, you can use a Splash Water Potion. Toss it at the fire to put it out. Keep in mind, this method requires gunpowder and glass, making it less cost-effective early in the game.
• Shovel: Surprisingly, the most budget-friendly and lesser-known 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 extinguish it.

Now that you're adept at extinguishing Campfires, let's explore how to acquire one:

• Natural Generation: Campfires can be discovered 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 enchanted with Silk Touch. Without it, breaking the Campfire yields only coal—two in Java Edition and four in Bedrock Edition.
• Crafting: Crafting a Campfire is straightforward and requires basic materials like sticks, wood, and either charcoal or soul sand. The choice of the latter determines whether you'll craft a regular or soul fire Campfire.
• Trading: You can also trade with an apprentice-level fisherman for a Campfire. The cost is five emeralds in Bedrock Edition and two emeralds in Java Edition.
