Campfire
minecraft:campfireA campfire is a versatile block crafted from sticks, coal or charcoal, and wood that can cook food, provide light, generate rising smoke, and damage mobs standing on it while lit. It cooks up to four food items at once without consuming any fuel, and a hay bale placed underneath turns its smoke into a tall, visible signal.
