How to Craft Soul Campfire in Minecraft

Soul Campfire in Minecraft, drawn from the game's own item texture. Blue flame campfire. The recipe first appears in the game's files in Minecraft 1.16.

You need 3 Sticks, 1 Soul Sand, and 3 Logs, plus a Crafting Table to assemble them on. From the top down: a Stick in the middle column; then two Sticks down either side and Soul Sand in the middle column; then three Logs. A single craft gives you 1 Soul Campfire.

Soul Campfire Item ID and Give Command

The item ID for Soul Campfire is minecraft:soul_campfire. In commands the namespace may be left off, so soul_campfire works too. Checked against Minecraft Java 26.2.

Give yourself one
/give @p soul_campfire
Give a full stack of 64
/give @p soul_campfire 64
Give it to a named player
/give Steve soul_campfire 1

Cheats have to be on for Soul Campfire to appear this way, and the same command works on Bedrock Edition, where the name is written the same.

Overview

Soul Campfires produce blue flames and emit light level 10. They repel piglins in the Nether. Soul Campfire uses a shaped recipe: the ingredients only work in the pattern shown.

This recipe first appears in the game's own data files in Minecraft 1.16, and not in the release before it.

The materials come together from a few sources: you will be working with stick (craft from planks), soul sand (found in the Nether), and log (chop trees).

The Yield Per Stack

64 logs is 21 crafts here, or 21 soul campfires once the grid stops. You supply 63 sticks to go with it. That leaves 1 log with no partner.
