Short and Sweet: Flint and Steel Crafting 101
To make flint and steel in Minecraft, you need just two items: a piece of flint and an iron ingot. First, you’ll have to gather these materials. You can find flint by mining gravel blocks, which have a 10% chance of dropping flint instead of gravel. Iron ingots come from smelting iron ore blocks in a furnace. Once you’ve got your materials, it’s crafting time!
Open your crafting table, and in any slots, place the flint and iron ingot. Boom! You’ve crafted flint and steel. This tool is your go-to for lighting fires, igniting TNT, and opening portals to the Nether. Flint and steel have limited durability, so use it wisely or be ready to craft another!
