Trivia

  • Sometimes, in Survival when you walk into a fire and then walk out very quickly you will take a little bit of damage, but not stay on fire.
  • Curiously, if a gravity-affected block such as sand or gravel falls on a block of which the top is on fire, it will extinguish the fire rather than drop itself as an item, despite fire being a non-solid block.
  • Fire uses two texture files, one for the inner fire and one for the outer fire.
  • End crystals will continuously generate a block of fire at their location, if the crystal is placed or generated in the End. This fire is incapable of spreading.

Natural generation

Fire naturally generates across the terrain of the Nether A view of the Nether. The Nether is a hell-like dimension, filled with fire, lava, and dangerous mobs. Contents 1 Accessing 2 Environment 2.1 Mobs 3 Generation 3.1 Naturally generated 3.2 Naturally created 3.3 Structures minecraft .

Lava generated next to flammable blocks can naturally ignite fires (see below).

Lightning Lightning during a thunderstorm. A lightning bolt strikes a tree. A creeper can be seen hopping about in the woods. If it had been closer to the strike, it would have become charged. Thunderstorms are minecraft strikes can also set fires.

Usage

Before a fire
During the fire
After a fire

When placed, fire will burn for a short and randomly determined amount of time. If nothing flammable is adjacent to it, the flames will die out. If water touches fire, the fire will be extinguished.

Spread

Fire will spread over flammable surfaces. Fire can climb up walls, across floors and ceilings, and over small gaps.

This can happen at a distance of up to one block downwards, one block sideways (including diagonals), and four blocks upwards of the original fire block (not the block the fire is on/next to). Therefore if the player is using fire to build a fireplace, caution is needed. Blocks in the way will not prevent fire from igniting blocks above it⃢₀ₔso even if you protect your wooden roof with cobblestone between it and the fire, the fire will completely ignore that cobblestone.

Flammable blocks

Fire can spread onto and burn away any flammable block. On the other hand, fire that is not adjacent to any flammable block will not spread, even to another flammable block within the normal range.

In the following table, the higher the encouragement, the more quickly a block will catch fire if fire is available to spread there. The higher the flammability, the more quickly a block on fire will burn away. These are relative values; actual flammability and burn time depends not only on these values, but on difficulty Mobs in full armor are a common sight in higher difficulty levels.

Non-flammable blocks

Non-flammable blocks can be lit but do not burn away, and such fire will not spread. Non-flammable blocks other than netherrack or magma blocks will extinguish themselves after a few seconds.

Certain blocks can catch fire from nearby lava, though they will not burn away:

Extinguishing

Fire will burn out after a while on its own; be that as it may, the player may want to extinguish the fire as soon as possible to prevent damage. You can use water to extinguish the fire. Punching or hitting the side of a burning block will extinguish the fire block on that side. Hitting fire with a tool does not reduce the durability value for the tool. Placing blocks on the fire will extinguish it. Fire can also be extinguished with splash and lingering water bottles.

Mobs on fire will be extinguished when in water or in a cauldron containing it. In the latter case, one layer of water will disappear.

Fire will extinguish much more quickly if nothing flammable is present, and very soon after it consumes a flammable block immediately beneath it.

  • Fire has an age property that determines how it extinguishes, ranging from age 0 when the fire is set, and growing to age 15. For fire older than age 3, if nothing flammable is adjacent to the fire, or if the block below doesn`t have a solid top surface, the fire will be extinguished by the next block tick. At age 15, as long as there isn`t a flammable block below the fire, a block tick will have a 1⃢₁₄4 chance to extinguish the fire.

If fire is exposed to rain A view of hills during rain. Rain is a type of weather that occurs occasionally in Minecraft. Contents 1 Behavior 2 Effects 2.1 Rain particles 3 History 4 Issues 5 Trivia 6 References Behavior edit minecraft , it will extinguish much more quickly.

  • Rain will affect fire if it falls directly onto the fire, or into the four adjacent blocks. Specifically, no matter the age, any block tick has a 20⃢₀ₓ65% chance of rain extinguishing the fire, depending on the fire`s age: 3 percentage points per age of the fire.

Fire is now placed by flint and steel.
Jan. 29, 2010 Ores can be smelted by using fire on dropped items.
Alpha
1.2.6 Lava can cause surrounding flammable blocks to burn. Forest fires may start spontaneously if an above-ground lava pool is generated amongst trees during a biome`s creation.
Beta
1.2_02 Ability for blocks to burn forever was removed. Previously, a non-netherrack flammable block, like wood, may burn continuously when its sides are surrounded by nonflammable blocks, like stone or dirt.
1.6 Fire spreading was severely nerfed — infinite fire spread was disabled.
Official release
1.2.1 12w06a Hitting fire in Creative now doesn`t remove the block under the fire.
1.4.2 12w34a Fire spreads differently based on difficulty.
12w40a Firespread has been slightly nerfed again to prevent infinitely spreading fires.
1.5 13w02a The texture of fire is now accessible. Before, the texture was hidden in the code and not accessible by any normal bases.
1.8 14w25a The model was changed slightly (the sides are no longer rotated).
Block #51 Fire is Removed from /give command making the chain armor uncraftable.
1.9 15w31a The block states alt and flip were removed, and the state upper was changed to the byte state up. The behavior of fire was unchanged.

In Pocket Edition

  • Burning mobs turn orange and emit large fire particles around their body.
