Template:Infobox item Flint and steel is a Minecraft:tool used to create Minecraft:fire or to ignite certain blocks, structures and mobs.
Obtaining
Generated loot
Crafting
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 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 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 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 creeper or 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 durability points when it is used to break a block with a value of hardness more than 0.<ref name="MC-61176">Template:Bug</ref>

Trivia
- The name "Flint and Steel" may be misleading as there is a lack of steel in the game and is instead crafted with iron.
- In real life, the steel piece is called a Template:W. Before the invention of steel, iron minerals were also used as material for the fire striker, though it was less effective.
- In Adventure mode, flint and steel cannot light fires, nor can it ignite nether portals (unless it has the tag
CanPlaceOn:obsidian). However, it can still ignite TNT and creepers.
