Proposal
To add realistic camping and hiking features. I know some feature may have been suggested and endorsed before but this is probably the most concrete suggestion.

Features
Campfire: I am sure there are many campfire suggestions but this one is slightly different. You craft it by placing 3 logs in the bottom slots and three sticks in the middle row. It is basically a kebab stand but you set it on fire with flint and steel or stones. You place the meat on then then set it on fire then the cooked version of the meat comes out later. The fire will last for 45 seconds then dissipate with the camp fire becoming charred.

Pair of rocks: similar to flint and steel but easier to make. You make them placing two rocks in crafting. They can light fires but they only have a chance of 1/3 to light it but have longer durability than Flint and steel.

Rock: place one cobblestone block in your crafting to get 4 rocks. They are basically buttons that don't do anything. You can find them on the ground as blocks but button sized and they can't be placed on the sides of walls/blocks. (Or add this mechanics to pebbles)

Mat: basically beds but smaller. For aesthetics in campsites and prisons.

Rabbit trap: works like a plate as you can put food on it (preferably vegetables) but like a pressure plate it activates and you take damage or if you are a rabbit, you cannot leave the block. Crafted by making a upside down iron helmet but with cobble at the bottom layer. I know this would the most difficult to code but it would improve farming and hunting and defending bases by a lot.

Also, npc camps should not contain crops as it doesnt make sense to have crops growing for a few nights.

Summary
This suggestion covers most worthwhile features for camping and making life on the go more enjoyable. Some features would also be used for other aspects of Lotr minecraft life.

Kudos!
