What it does

Under the default setup, a campfire is built by placing logs directly on the ground, as in vanilla. Better Campfire alters that method so the campfire is assembled in a more realistic way, and the change is meant to make campfire creation feel closer to how it works in practice.

Firewood for the new campfire recipe is produced by chopping logs on a chopping block, a feature the mod gets from Primitive Utilities. Primitive Utilities is a required dependency and must be installed for firewood chopping to work. The mod is for Forge and targets only 1.16.5, with the latest file, 1.1, dated 2024-04-04. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Its author, daizu-007, first published it on 2023-09-10 and last updated it on 2024-04-04. The author also notes that a recipe may be added by default if there is enough demand, and that players may create their own recipes.

Key features

  1. Realistic campfire assembly

    Campfires are assembled through a process meant to look more realistic than placing logs directly on the ground.

  2. Firewood from chopping blocks

    Logs are split on a chopping block to produce firewood, which the new campfire method uses.

  3. Custom recipes

    Players can create their own recipe for the campfire, since the mod is open to custom setups.

  4. Modpack use

    The MIT License allows the mod to be included in modpacks.
