Crafting and Building with Decorative Chimneys

guide

Decorative chimneys vent smoke upward to create realistic rooftops across numerous stone and brick building styles.

Chimney Crafting Recipes

Every chimney in the mod is manufactured using a compact two-slot vertical crafting pattern. In any crafting grid, place 1 Campfire in the upper slot and 1 corresponding stone or masonry block directly beneath it in the lower slot. This arrangement yields 1 functional chimney block matching the chosen stone texture.

Because crafting requires only 1 stone block and 1 Campfire, players can assemble chimney fixtures without massive masonry expenditures. The catalog of architectural variants includes:

Rooftop Ventilation and Smoke Columns

Placing a chimney block on a roof generates a steady column of rising smoke particles identical to a lit campfire. Unlike a bare campfire, a chimney encapsulates the heat source inside a finished flue, preventing accidental fire spread to nearby wooden rafters and roof thatch.

Stacking chimney blocks vertically extends the chimney stack, allowing builders to route smoke shafts through multi-story manors, blacksmith workshops, and rustic cottages. Smoke rises freely from the top block in the column as long as air blocks remain open directly above the chimney cap. Extending the chimney past the roofline creates authentic silhouettes that signal occupied dwellings across player settlements.

Masonry Palette Selection

Matching the chimney style to the underlying wall architecture establishes aesthetic harmony across building exteriors. A Brick Chimney pairs naturally with traditional red brick fireplaces and furnace hearths. For darker medieval keeps, fortresses, and subterranean vaults, choosing a Deepslate Brick Chimney, Blackstone Chimney, or Cobbled Deepslate Chimney maintains a somber stone palette. Desert villas benefit from the warm tones of a Sandstone Chimney, while coastal and aquatic structures integrate cleanly with a Prismarine Chimney. Builders can also top chimneys with stone slabs or trapdoors to create custom rain covers without obstructing smoke emissions.
