Campfire GUI
by armaninyow
Campfire GUI adds a read-only inspection screen for vanilla campfires, so players can check the food cooking on each spot without changing it.
What it does
Right-clicking a campfire still places raw food on it the vanilla way, but sneaking and right-clicking opens a panel with four read-only slots that mirror the campfire contents. Items cannot be moved, removed or swapped inside the panel, and it is closed with the usual close key. Each occupied slot carries its own progress bar underneath, which grows as the food cooks; moving the pointer over a slot reveals the item's name along with how long remains before it is done.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it installed for the inspection screen to work across a multiplayer session. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places it in the public domain, and it is open source with public links for the source code and issue tracker. Fabric Loader and Fabric API are required, and files are published for Fabric only, for 16 release versions 1.21 – 26.2, with 4.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file.
Key features
Read-only inspection screen
Sneaking and right-clicking a campfire opens a panel with four slots that display its contents without allowing any changes.
Live cooking progress
A bar under each occupied slot fills as the item cooks, so the state of every item is visible at a glance.
Slot tooltips
Pointing at a slot brings up a tooltip naming the item and giving the precise number of seconds left before cooking is complete.
Animated fire display
The panel plays the campfire flame animation while the campfire is lit and stops it once the fire goes out.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
26.x4 of 4 versions with builds

Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who cook several items at once on a campfire and want to see the remaining time for each without guessing. Server owners who run the mod need it installed on the server and on every client that connects.
How it compares
Better Campfires is server required with the client optional, covers many loaders and is closed source under All rights reserved, with files for 1.21.4 – 26.2. New Campfire is for Fabric, supports the client and server together and is also closed source under All rights reserved, with files for 26.1 – 26.2. GUI Scaling is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it does not change campfires at all.
