Getting Started

Minecraft Bedrock 26.30 or newer is required. Both included packs must be active. Cheats, commands, experimental gameplay toggles, and additional dependencies are not required.

Back up the world

Create a backup before installing or updating any add-on in an important world.

Install on Windows

  1. Download Andys_Comforting_Campfires_0.1.7.mcaddon from the official project page.
  2. Open the file with Minecraft Bedrock.
  3. Wait for successful Behavior Pack and Resource Pack import messages.
  4. Create a world or edit the world where the add-on should be used.
  5. Open Behavior Packs → My Packs.
  6. Activate Andy's Comforting Campfires [BP].
  7. Open Resource Packs and confirm Andy's Comforting Campfires [RP] is active.
  8. Enter the world.

The packs have reciprocal dependencies and are intended to remain paired at the same version.

Install on Android, iPhone, or iPad

Download the .mcaddon, open or share it to Minecraft, wait for both packs to import, and activate both packs on the intended world. Exact file-sharing steps vary by platform and operating-system version.

Install for console play

Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch generally do not provide the same arbitrary local .mcaddon import flow. Import and activate the add-on on a supported Windows or mobile device, upload that prepared world to a Realm, and join the Realm from the console.

Install on a server or Realm

Activate both packs on the world before uploading or starting it. Joining players must accept the world's required Resource Pack so custom item presentation and rune particles display correctly.

Update an existing world

  1. Back up the world.
  2. Import the newer .mcaddon.
  3. Wait for Minecraft to confirm the updated packs.
  4. Edit the world and verify that version 0.1.7 of both packs is active.
  5. Remove or deactivate obsolete duplicate copies.
  6. Completely leave and reopen the world before testing.

Placed records are designed to persist when the same project UUIDs are updated.

Craft the first Comforting Campfire

Use a Crafting Table:

Golden Carrot Amethyst Shard Golden Carrot
Golden Carrot Campfire or Soul Campfire Golden Carrot
Golden Carrot Amethyst Shard Golden Carrot

The output is a custom Comforting Campfire item with enchanted-style shimmer.

Place the first hearth

  1. Hold the custom Comforting Campfire.
  2. Interact with the top of a solid support block.
  3. Make sure the block space directly above the support is clear.
  4. Keep the item selected until placement completes.
  5. Stand within five blocks while the fire is lit.

Orange and red floating runes identify an active base Comforting Campfire. A Soul version retains the Soul Campfire's vanilla flame appearance while using the same orange/red tier palette.

First controls

Action Result
Normal interaction with a hearth while holding supported food Places food for normal campfire cooking
Crouch + interact with a hearth Opens tier, radius, and cooking information
Extinguish a hearth Stops healing and rune particles
Relight a hearth Resumes healing and rune particles
Break with Silk Touch Returns the matching custom item and preserves hearth tier

All upgrades happen in a Crafting Table. There is no upgrade-purchase menu.
