Realistic Campfires

A campfire in Realistic Campfires does not work like the vanilla block. Placing one leaves it lit, and a player keeps it burning by right-clicking it while holding a log in the main hand. Flint and steel lights it at once, and without that tool four sticks can be used instead. A fire made this way lasts about five minutes by default. Breaking a campfire returns the log, and shift plus right-click takes it back from a lit fire when the hand is empty. The fire model shows which log was dropped into it, and custom textures let different logs drop in place of the default oak log. Rain puts out a campfire, and so does water one block above it.

The mod is built for players who want campfires that take more work to create and maintain. Installation needs Fabric API on the Fabric loader. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and it is required on both client and server, so every player and the server need it. The license is All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.

Realistic Campfires suits survival worlds where fire should cost effort, and servers that want that upkeep on every campfire placed.
