Parity means making features behave consistently across different Minecraft editions, most commonly between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

Campfire smoke render distance

Smoke from campfires in Bedrock should render at a greater distance, such as Java, where smoke will render pretty much as far as chunk render distance is set too. The smoke ceased to render after about 4 chunks in Bedrock, regardless of chunk render distance, making campfires useless as landmarks.

    Basically, smoke renders in render distance instead of simulation distance. Good suggestion but may be hard to implement.

    Please correct this in Bedrock. My volcano's smoke is not seen from a distance and just looks silly.

    Why is the campfire programmed to increase the smoke height with a hay bale if that large smoke signal can't been seen a few blocks away?

    this really does completely negate the campfires most useful feature, the particles from the fire should render if the campfire is loaded. currently on a bedrock realm a campfire has an effective realm of between 49 and 64 blocks

    2025 and still an issue. it would make sense for MINECRAFT / Mojang to fix this considering mounts of mayhem; travel. i say fix, not patch, this is an intentional feature. i think a lot of bedrock players would appreciate this change.
