Survival Campfire
by Fouin
Survival Campfire turns the campfire into a survival mechanic inspired by Don't Starve, where players must keep it fueled to stay warm and keep darkness away.
What it does
A campfire is built the usual way and then ignited with flint and steel. Once lit, it burns through fuel, and players feed it items they would otherwise smelt in a furnace to keep it going. Fuel is stored in the campfire, and the amount it can hold is set by the author as a multiple of the vanilla furnace fuel values, with a maximum that can be configured. As fuel runs low, the campfire's light level changes, giving players a visible sign of how much fuel is left. Soul campfires are not affected.
The mod is described by its author as a small introduction to bushcraft for beginners. It is meant to be played alongside other mods such as Healing Campfire and Hostiles Around Campfire, and the author notes that resource packs can recolor the campfire model, with most textures expected to work. Survival Campfire requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.19.2, under the WTFPL, which is not open source.

The light level of the campfire model drops as its fuel is used up, so players can read its state at a glance.
Configurable fuel capacity
The maximum fuel a campfire can store is set in the config, with values based on vanilla furnace fuel times.

How it compares
Chronopyre is the closest alternative in version range, since it also targets 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 on Fabric. Chronopyre is open source under the ISC License and runs on client and server, while Survival Campfire is not open source and is licensed under the WTFPL. Campfire Buff targets Fabric for 1.21.10 and is server-side only, so players join without installing it, a different environment from Survival Campfire's client and server setup.
