The Minecraft Soul Campfire is a variant of the Campfire and, in addition to its function as a light source, has some additional effects. The Soul Campfire emits a light level of 10, which is slightly lower than normal campfires with a light level of 15.
Players can also identify them by their turquoise flame instead of the orange-yellow flame. They also emit blue light particles when turned on occasionally.
This also has the effect of pushing Piglins back into the Nether. Players can also use it to send a smoke signal by placing a haystack on it.
