DIY Campfires
DIY Campfires lets players build campfires by hand from logs and firewood, with a stacking recipe and igniters for regular and soul fire.
What it does
Campfires are crafted in a vertical grid by placing two logs one above the other. Firewood can be stacked on top of another piece, so a player builds a campfire out of separate parts instead of using the vanilla block. Two igniters, one for regular campfires and one for soul campfires, light the finished build. Item tags define which blocks count as a campfire, so other mods can add compatible items.
The mod is small and lightweight, and it stays close to vanilla behavior. It is built for Forge and NeoForge and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover game versions 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, with 1.3.1.0 as the latest file on both loaders. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, though the source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Installation needs no other mod. Beautiful Campfires has a compatibility layer, which allows campfires to be built from its wood types when that mod is also installed. The project was published by MarbledHubb Studios on 2026-04-11 and last updated on 2026-10-05.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want campfires they build themselves rather than placing the vanilla block, and builders who want a lightweight option that keeps to vanilla behavior. Server owners who want the same campfire recipes on both sides need the mod installed on the server and by every player.
How it compares
Better Campfire is a Forge-only mod for 1.16.5, released under the MIT License and open source, so it does not cover the newer game versions. Build Your Campfire is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved. Realistic Campfires reaches 1.20 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge, also under All rights reserved, but it is not published for Forge.
