How to craft a Soul Campfire in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:
2. Add Items to make a Soul Campfire
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a soul campfire, place 3 sticks, 1 soil sand or 1 soul soil, and 3 wood or 3 logs in the 3×3 crafting grid.
When making a soul 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 soul sand or soul soil 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 soul campfire.
