How to make a Campfire in Minecraft

Material you need in order to craft a campfire are:

1. 3 wooden sticks
2. 1 coal or 1 charcoal
3. 3 wooden blocks or 3 logs of any wood

A stick in Minecraft is an important simple object that is used to build several other items in the game. 4 sticks at a time will be produced by the following crafting process. Here’s how you can make your own crafting table.

It is easy to locate coal ore, given that it is found in large deposits. You will normally find coal ore between 4 and 15 blocks below level. You need to dig up the coal ore with a pickaxe to mine for coal; since any other tool will not cause the coal to drop.

Last but not the least, you need logs or wood of any type from the following: Oak, Birch, Spruce, Dark Oak, Acacia, and Jungle. The fundamental method of acquiring log is the same. First, you locate a tree. Equip your axe, although you can do it with your hand too at the sacrifice of chopping speed. Left-click on a block of the tree’s trunk and hold. Depending on the tier of your axe a block of the log will drop. Pick it up. You now have all the materials to make a campfire, so let’s dive right in!

In a Nutshell:

To make a campfire, open the crafting area made up of the 3x3 grid. Place 3 wooden logs, of any kind, in the last row, a coal in the center of the grid, and finally three sticks on the remaining sides of the coal. Now that a campfire has been made, simply click it and drag it into your inventory.
