Bonfires - Dark Souls Campfires in Minecraft
The Bonfires mod brings the iconic campfire mechanics from the Dark Souls series to Minecraft. These special points serve as checkpoints that can be used for teleportation and health restoration.
Main Features
Create and name bonfires that can then be used to travel between any other bonfires across all dimensions, including modded ones. Activating a bonfire also sets the player's respawn point, similar to a bed.
The mod adds the Estus Flask - a reusable healing potion that refills when using a bonfire. The Coiled Sword, which is a bonfire component, can be used as a weapon that sets mobs on fire.
Also available are two items for returning to the respawn point: the Homeward Bone and the Coiled Sword Fragment.
Version 1.2 Innovations
Weapons and tools can be reinforced to increase damage, and Estus Flasks can be reinforced to increase the amount of health restored.
Getting Started
Starting from version 1.0.2, to get acquainted with the mod, simply die from a mob - this will unlock the first advancement that will guide you through all other mod elements and unlock recipes in the recipe book.
Creating a Bonfire
Creating a bonfire requires two items: a Pile of Bone and Ash and a Coiled Sword.
The Pile of Bone and Ash can be crafted using Homeward Bones in the top row and Piles of Ash in the middle row. Homeward Bones are crafted from a Blaze Rod, Ender Pearl, and Bone (shapeless recipe).
The Coiled Sword is created using a more complex recipe involving obsidian, lava bucket, Fire Charge, Diamond Sword, and Pile of Ash.
After obtaining both components, place the Pile of Bone and Ash on the ground and right-click it with the Coiled Sword. Then right-click the bonfire to name it and set it as private (hidden from other players).
Additional Items
When a bonfire is destroyed, a Coiled Sword Fragment drops, which acts like a Homeward Bone but isn't consumed. It can be used to create a Coiled Sword with fewer material costs.
The Estus Flask initially has 3 charges that can be increased using Estus Shards. To reinforce the flask, simply right-click with an Estus Shard while having the flask in your inventory. Each use restores 3 hearts.
Reinforcement System
Version 1.2+ added Titanite materials for reinforcing tools and weapons through a special interface in the bonfire menu.
Titanite Shards are obtained by mining obsidian adjacent to lava (in version 1.2.3+, smelt obsidian instead).
To reinforce the Estus Flask, an Undead Bone Shard is required, which drops when a bonfire is destroyed by an explosion.
Commands
The mod adds two administrative commands:
/bonfires
/travel
Configuration
The mod offers extensive configuration through config files, including displaying text above bonfires, dimension tab icons, screenshot system, and much more.
