Campfire at a glance

Campfire, a block out of crafting and natural world generation, sits under Utility Blocks. Stack Campfire 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest.

On the hardness scale Campfire sits at 2. The light level of Campfire is 15, but only in the lit state. An axe makes Campfire quick, and even the cheapest one still drops it. It holds up against explosions exactly as well as it does against a pickaxe, and no better. It sits between Calcite and Candle in Utility Blocks, number 73 of 340 there.

Building with it

A campfire is three sticks, one coal and three logs, and it does more than look warm: it cooks four items at once without fuel, its smoke marks a location from far away, and a hay bale under it turns the column into a beacon of smoke that reaches much higher.
