Soul Campfire

Soul campfires are dimmer variants of campfires. Soul campfires deal more damage than normal campfires and have turquoise flames. Just like normal campfires, they can be used to cook food, pacify bees, or act as a spread-proof light source, smoke signal, or damaging trap block. Crafting soul campfires with soul sand and then breaking them to convert the soul sand into soul soil (similarly to converting 1 coal into 2 charcoal) is the only renewable source of soul soil.

Usage

Lit soul campfires emit a light level of 10. Soul campfires are lit by default when placed. Soul campfires can be manually lit by or dispensing flint and steel on them, shooting it with a flaming arrow, or using or dispensing fire charges, blaze fireballs, and ghast fireballs when is true. , soul campfires can also be lit by an item enchanted with Fire Aspect, or stepping on it while burning. Soul campfires can be extinguished by waterlogging it (placing water in the same block space), throwing a splash water bottle on it, or a shovel on it. Soul campfires cannot be extinguished from their bottom face. , soul campfires can also be extinguished by placing a water source or allowing water to flow in the space above the soul campfire. Rain does not extinguish soul campfires. Using flint and steel on the side of a waterlogged or lit soul campfire sets the adjacent air block on fire instead. Any items cooking on a soul campfire always drop when the soul campfire block is broken.

Particles and smoke signals

Unlike regular campfires, soul campfires do not emit embers.

Damage

Soul campfires damage mobs standing on top of them even if underwater (with exceptions such as shulkers, zombified piglins, or guardians), but only if lit. Soul campfires deal of damage every tick (although damage immunity reduces this to once every half-second). Soul campfires do not cause lasting burning or destroy items. Damage taken is considered fire damage, so it is not reduced by armor itself; to do so, the player needs the Resistance effect, or the Protection or Fire Protection enchantments. The player can also avoid all damage from the campfire by either using a potion of Fire Resistance or wearing Frost Walker boots. Regardless of height, all blocks prevent damage done to mobs or players above soul campfires. The soul campfire deals damage only to entities occupying its block.

Hoppers

Soul campfires do not have an external inventory. Raw food cannot be loaded into the soul campfire with a hopper. A hopper placed directly underneath a soul campfire pulls through any items dropped into the soul campfire. Any drops from a mob that dies in the soul campfire get pulled into the hopper.

Bees

Placing a soul campfire under a beehive or bee nest allows players to harvest honey bottles or honeycomb without provoking the bees. There must be unobstructed air between the soul campfire and the beehive or bee nest. Carpets are an exception.

Piglins

Lit soul campfires repel piglins that are not currently attacking. This occurs when the piglin is within an 8-block radius of the soul campfire. Piglin brutes are not repelled by soul campfires.
