Cooking Raw Meatballs over Campfires in Relics Mod
guide
Campfire cooking in the Relics mod allows players to slow-roast 
Raw Meatball items over an open campfire flame to produce nutritious 
Cooked Meatball rations without consuming furnace fuel.
Campfire Roasting Mechanics
Cooking food over a campfire provides an accessible, fuel-free method for preparing meatball rations in survival Minecraft:
- Place an ordinary campfire onto the ground and ensure the logs are actively lit.
- Hold a Raw Meatball in your main hand and right-click on one of the campfire's four cooking spots.
- The Raw Meatball rests visibly on top of the burning wooden grate as smoke billows into the air.
- Over thirty seconds of continuous flame exposure, the raw meat cooks thoroughly.
- Once finished, the roasted food pops off the fire automatically as a Cooked Meatball, landing on adjacent ground tiles for pickup.
- Up to four Raw Meatball items can roast simultaneously across a single campfire block.
Because campfires burn indefinitely without requiring coal, wood, or charcoal refills, roasting meatballs over a campfire is the most economical cooking method available.
Nutritional Benefits and Chef Hat Synergies
Consuming a freshly prepared Cooked Meatball delivers reliable survival sustenance:
- The Cooked Meatball provides solid hunger bar restoration and sustained saturation, keeping your health regeneration active during strenuous mining.
- Equip the
Chef's Hat curio accessory while cooking and eating to amplify the nutritional efficiency of prepared dishes. - The Chef's Hat enhances culinary perks, helping players stretch food stockpiles during lengthy wilderness expeditions.
- Stacking Cooked Meatball rations in your backpack ensures ready food supplies when exploring hostile cave systems.
- Consuming a Cooked Meatball while wearing the Chef's Hat maximizes heart regeneration before engaging in dangerous combat.
Trail Cooking During Wilderness Expeditions
Campfire cooking excels during mobile overland travel:
- Carry a compact campfire in your inventory while surveying distant biomes or exploring deep cavern ravines.
- Set up temporary evening encampments and place harvested Raw Meatball provisions over the embers to roast while you sleep.
- Collecting finished Cooked Meatball rations at dawn prepares your character for another full day of exploration with zero furnace maintenance.
- Campfires also serve as visible beacons, emitting rising smoke signals that help players find their way back to trail camps after dark.
