4 best fireplace build designs in Minecraft

1) Cobblestone fireplace

If players do not have any special building blocks, they can still create a simple fireplace with blocks like wood logs, cobblestone, a few stone brick blocks, and netherrack.

The above fireplace's periphery can be built with wood logs so that the blocks don't catch fire. The area surrounding the fire area can be made of cobblestone, followed by the chimney area with stone bricks. Lastly, the area for the fire must have three netherrack blocks, which can be ignited with flint and steel. Netherrack is particularly used in this case since the fire on it will never be extinguished.

2) Brick fireplace

This is another fireplace design players can use in their Minecraft builds. This uses better block combinations like regular brick blocks and stone brick slabs. Many real-life fireplaces in houses use red brick walls and chimney systems.

Players can first place four stone brick slabs in front, then cover the rest of the fireplace area with red brick blocks as shown in the picture. These brick blocks can be made from single brick items crafted from smelting clay. Once the surrounding chimney is built, place two netherrack blocks in the fireplace and light them on fire. Players can also place glass panes to cover the fireplace.

3) Campfire fireplace

While previous fireplaces used netherrack and an actual fire lit on top of it, this one uses a line of campfires. Campfires can be made with four sticks, three wood logs, and one charcoal. These blocks are special since fire burns on them but it doesn't start burning neighboring wood blocks like planks, slabs, and logs.

Hence, players can create a unique fireplace completely covered with various wood and leaf blocks as shown in the picture above. They can use stripped log blocks to surround the fireplace and use wood plank stairs and leaf blocks to cover the rest of the area. It can be a great cozy fireplace for huts that are solely made up of wood blocks.

4) Modern fireplace

Many players in Minecraft try to create a modern house in Minecraft. The existence of block of quartz and concrete blocks makes modern houses with smooth solid-colored walls and straight roofs possible. A fireplace in these modern houses can be easily made.

They can be slightly more creative in creating fireplaces and make one in the corner of the room rather than traditionally placing it on the wall. The modern fireplace shown above uses smooth quartz stairs and bricks that completely match the wall.

Though the fire is lit on top of a netherrack block, it is neatly hidden with smooth quartz stairs and the fire is covered with dark stained glass.
