Flint and steel can be used to light nether portals, as any fire existing within an appropriate [[Minecraft:obsidian]] frame is instantly replaced with nether portal blocks that occupy the entirety of the frame. Flint and steel ''cannot'' light [[Minecraft:end portal]]s.

Using flint and steel on [[Minecraft:TNT]] ignites it. The explosion damage dealt by TNT ignited with flint and steel in this specific way counts as the player's attack.

A flint and steel can be used on a [[Minecraft:creeper]] or [[Minecraft:charged creeper]] to force it to explode. Explosions initiated in this way cannot be cancelled.


When powered, a [[Minecraft:dispenser]] containing flint and steel can place fires or ignite relevant blocks such as [[Minecraft:TNT]] or [[Minecraft:Campfire|campfires]] in the space directly in front of it. This reduces the flint and steel's durability. A [[Minecraft:dispenser]] containing a flint and steel cannot detonate creepers.

Template:Infobox item Flint and steel is a Minecraft:tool used to create Minecraft:fire or to ignite certain blocks, structures and mobs.

Usage

Igniting

When Template:Control on the space above any solid top surface, on any side of any flammable block or any side of any Minecraft:obsidian block within a valid unlit Minecraft:nether portal frame regardless of if there is a solid top surface available, the flint and steel places a Minecraft:fire there.

Flint and steel can be used to light unlit Minecraft:campfires, Minecraft:candles and cakes with candles.

Flint and steel can be used to light Minecraft:nether portals, as any fire existing within an appropriate Minecraft:obsidian frame is instantly replaced with Minecraft:nether portal blocks that occupy the entirety of the frame. Flint and steel cannot light Minecraft:end portals.

Using flint and steel on Minecraft:TNT ignites it. The explosion damage dealt by TNT ignited with flint and steel in this specific way counts as the player's attack. If the player is Template:Control, a fire is instead placed on the side of the Minecraft:TNT the flint and steel was used on.

A flint and steel can be used on a Minecraft:creeper or Minecraft:charged creeper to force it to explode. Explosions initiated in this way cannot be cancelled.

When powered, a Minecraft:dispenser containing flint and steel can place fires or ignite relevant blocks such as Minecraft:TNT or campfires in the space directly in front of it. This reduces the flint and steel's durability. A Minecraft:dispenser containing a flint and steel cannot detonate creepers.

Breaking tool

Template:Exclusive The flint and steel is considered as a breaking tool; It loses 2 Minecraft:durability points when it is used to break a block with a value of Minecraft:hardness more than 0.<ref name="MC-61176">Template:Bug</ref>
