RPG Bonfire
by Nhbybnb
Campfires in RPG Bonfire restore health when a player stands within reach of one and presses a key.
What it does
Standing within the regeneration radius of a campfire and pressing a single key restores the player's health. The default radius is 1 block and the default key is X. Campfires also keep their role as a light source and a survival tool, so the mod adds a healing use to a block players already place. The feature is aimed at survival play where a campfire is a natural rest point, and the mod is meant to sit alongside other mods without changing how they work.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric and for Forge. The Fabric build targets 26.2 and the Forge build targets 1.20.1, with the latest Fabric file dated 2026-07-04 and the latest Forge file 1.2 dated 2024-12-23. The mod is available for 1.20.1 – 26.2 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. A wiki is linked from the publisher's page.
Key features
Health from a key press
Pressing the designated key while in range of a campfire starts health regeneration, with no item or command needed.
Adjustable regeneration radius
The distance at which a campfire heals is set in the mod's options, with a default of 1 block.
Campfire as a survival tool
The block keeps its light and cooking role, and the healing ability gives players another reason to build around it.
Cozy survival atmosphere
Resting by a fire becomes a repeatable part of exploration, suited to players who want a slower pace.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Survival players who want campfires to matter beyond light and cooking, and server owners who want a simple healing mechanic that other mods can coexist with.
