Template:Infobox block Soul fire is a dimmer turquoise variation of Minecraft:fire that is created when soul sand or soul soil is ignited. Soul fire deals more damage than normal fire and does not spread.

Obtaining

Soul fire cannot be obtained as an item under any circumstances in Template:Editions, though in Template:Editions soul fire may be obtained as an item via inventory editing.

Breaking

Soul fire is immediately destroyed when broken. When Minecraft:shears are used to break soul fire, they don't lose durability. Script error: No such module "breaking row". Soul fire drops nothing when destroyed.

Natural generation

Soul fire naturally generates in the soul sand valley biome in the Nether. It exclusively generates on soul soil; it does not generate on soul sand within either the same biome<ref>Template:Bug</ref> nor in the nether wastes biome.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Soul fire also generates in ancient cities.

Usage

Placement

Soul fire can be placed on soul sand or soul soil using flint and steel or a fire charge, and explosions from sources like beds or ghast fireballs can ignite soul fire as well. Unlike regular fire, it can be placed only on the top of a block.

When placed, a soul fire burns and does not extinguish by itself. Minecraft:Water that touches soul fire extinguishes it.

It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Burning entities

Players and many Minecraft:mobs burn when exposed to soul fire. Burning obstructs the player's view slightly. While inside a soul fire block, the fire inflicts damage at a rate of Template:Hp per tick, twice as many as with the normal Minecraft:fire (although damage immunity reduces this to once every half-second) unless the player or mob has Fire Resistance or a total Fire Protection of 7 or higher.Template:Only When the player is on fire outside the soul fire block, they take damage at Template:Hp per second, the same as with normal fire.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> This is the same rate that the player gains health in Peaceful difficulty, so burning alone cannot kill the player in this mode. After leaving a fire source, the player or mob continues burning for some time depending on how long it was exposed to the soul fire (stored in a Fire tag shared by all entities). Players and mobs that are burning can be extinguished by powder snow, rain, Minecraft:water, or a Minecraft:cauldron.

Extinguishing

Soul fire never extinguishes unless punched or when it receives a block update and finds there is no soul soil or soul sand below it.

Punching or hitting a soul fire block extinguishes it, making the Fire extinguished sound (see below). Hitting soul fire while holding a tool does not reduce the tool's durability. Placing blocks on soul fire also extinguishes it. Water and lava extinguish soul fires that they flow into, and thrown splash and lingering water bottles extinguish soul fires in the block hit and the four blocks horizontally surrounding it.

Mobs on fire are extinguished when in water or in a Minecraft:cauldron containing it. In the latter case, one layer of water disappears.

Piglins

Soul fire repels Minecraft:piglins. Piglin brutes are not repelled by soul fire.

Trivia

  • While soul fire was not announced until MINECON Live 2019, a similar-looking blue fire was seen in the spin-off game Story Mode, years earlier.
