The Campfire is a multifunctional block in Minecraft that was added in version 1.14. It is most often used as a decoration, but it has many other interesting functions and features that may not be immediately obvious. For example, you can use it to deal damage to mobs and other players, make smoke signals to help you not get lost in the vast Minecraft worlds, cook food, and even calm down bees. This guide will show you all the ways to extinguish a Campfire, which will help you unlock its full potential and surprise your friends with your knowledge of the game.

How To Put Out A Fire In Minecraft

Campfire in Minecraft

There are three ways to put out a fire in Minecraft:

  • Water Bucket: You can extinguish the fire with waterlogging. To do this, get a water bucket and pour the water into the same block as the Campfire.
  • Splash Water Potion: Another way is to use the Splash Water Potion by throwing it on the fire. This is a relatively expensive method for early game, as you will need gunpowder and glass.
  • Shovel: And the last, cheapest, and least known way to put out a fire is with a shovel. After all, all you have to do is equip any shovel, even a wooden one, and click on the campfire with the right mouse button (or the left trigger if you are playing on a console).

How To Get A Campfire In Minecraft

Now that you know how to extinguish a Campfire, you should know how to get one. Campfire can be obtained in the following ways:

  • Natural generation: Campfires can be found in Taiga and Snowy Taiga villages, as well as in camps in Ancient Cities. Keep in mind that in order to collect a Campfire that is already placed in the world, you will need a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment, since if you destroy it without it, you will only get two coal in the Java version and four coal in the Bedrock version.
  • Crafting: Campfire can be pretty easily crafted using such basic resources as sticks, wood, and charcoal (or soul sand). The last mentioned ingredient determines the type of campfire you will create — a regular campfire or a soul fire.
  • Trading: You can exchange emeralds for the campfire from the apprentice fisherman. This will cost five emeralds in the Bedrock version and two emeralds in the Java version.
