Bonfires
Bonfires are large fires. When lit, they produce a large flame and smoke plume and burn for most of a day. They cannot be used for cooking. Like pit kilns, they set nearby things on fire, including any flammable items several blocks up, due to the tall flames.

About this project
What does Bonfires add?
Bonfires are large fires. When lit, they produce a large flame and smoke plume and burn for most of a day. They cannot be used for cooking. Like pit kilns, they set nearby things on fire, including any flammable items several blocks up, due to the tall flames. Once they have burned out, any immediately adjacent rock blocks become cracked, allowing them to be broken more easily, yielding the usual stone and ore pieces.
Why?
- They look really cool in your village center, wintry mead hall, great festival, or doom fortress.
- They provide a very slow and expensive way to mine ores without having unlocked the tools for them. This is how ores were actually mined in the copper age, by setting up large fires against ore faces.
