Change the look of your next build by learning how to make a Soul Campfire! This is going to be a new addition to Minecraft 1.16, and it burns a ghostly blue flame that will make things a bit spookier around your base. You'll have to go deep into the Nether to find the specific ingredients to craft it, but it will be worth it!
How to Make a Soul Campfire
Soul Campfires are relatively easy to create, it will just take a bit of work to get the Soul Sand or Soil needed to create them.
Step 1: Go to the Nether
You will need to create a Nether Portal to access the Nether. This usually requires harvesting obsidian, making a 4x5 rectangle, and lighting it with a flint and steel. Jump into the purple portal and you will find yourself in the Nether.
Step 2: Search a Soul Sand Valley biome
The Soul Sand Valley biome is a new type of biome that you can find in the Nether. Soul Sand has been around for a while, but now there's a new resource called Soul Soil that can be found in the same areas. Soul Sand is a bit scary and slows you down when going through it. Soul Soil has a similar color, but is wavy and doesn't slow you down. You'll know you're in the right place if you see blue flames coming out of the ground. Harvest some Soul Soul or Soul Soil, you will need it for each Soul Campfire you want to create.
Step 3: Craft the Soul Campfire
Now all you have to do is gather the remaining supplies. Have sticks and three pieces of wood. Place your Soul Sand or Soil in the middle of a crafting table, place three sticks and three pieces of wood in the bottom. Check out this image for a reference:
Finished!
That's all you need to do to create a Soul Campfire. They're not as bright as a standard campfire, but they look awesome with that blue flame. These should give you different visual options to go with that can color coordinate with a more creative build! You can also use them in an area you build with ice, as they won't melt those frozen blocks like a normal campfire would.
