🔥 CampfireOverhaul+

"For comfy nightstands out in the wilderness."

A community port of the original Campfire Overhaul by ZanderMeister to Minecraft 1.20.x and 1.21.x.
Transforms the vanilla campfire from an expensive, slow, and pretty much useless 4-slot smoker into an actual utility with new mechanics, recipes, and overall increased immersion.


✨ Features

🪵 New Crafting Recipe

Both normal and soul campfires can now be crafted in a 2x2 grid - no crafting table needed!

Perfect for survival situations when you don't have a crafting bench nearby.


🍳 New Campfire Recipes

Cook up to 4 items at once directly on the campfire (slower than a furnace, but no fuel needed):


🌑 Campfire Placed Unlit (configurable)

Both campfire types are now created unlit by default.
Light them up vanilla-style: flint & steel, flaming arrows, fire charges - or use the new methods below.


🪨 Two-Flint Ignition (configurable)

A new way to light campfires without flint & steel:

  1. Hold Flint in your main hand
  2. Hold Flint in your offhand (press F to swap)
  3. Right-click the unlit campfire
  4. Has a 1/3 (33%) chance of success by default

You can configure the success chance or disable this mechanic entirely. Note: only works on campfires, not regular blocks.


⏳ Campfire Lifetime System (configurable)

Campfires now have a fuel lifetime - when they run out of fuel, they die out.

Refueling:

Special mechanics:

Burnout behavior (configurable):
