How to craft a Campfire in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

3x3 crafting area

2. Add Items to make a Campfire

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a campfire, place 3 sticks, 1 charcoal or 1 coal, and 3 wood or 3 logs in the 3x3 crafting grid.

When making a campfire, it is important that the items are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 stick in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 stick in the first box, 1 charcoal or coal in the second box, and 1 stick in the third box. In the third row, there should be 1 wood or 1 log in each of the 3 boxes (you can use any wood or log, in this example, we used oak logs). This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a campfire.
