A lighter, or flint, in Minecraft is needed to get fire on a flat surface and activate a portal to the Nether world. Making this tool is quite simple, you just need to find the necessary resources.
Why do you need flint in Minecraft?
Any flint will go bad in sixty-four uses, so if you are going to use this tool to burn forests in the vastness of the game, get a few extra lighters. By the way, burning forests is a pretty effective way to clear space for global construction. It is only important not to get into your own fire.
Flame consists of an iron ingot and a flint unit. Both of these resources are fairly common, so there shouldn't be any problems finding them. The fire can be collected in the crafting (item creation) window of a character with an active area of 2x2, and not 3x3 as on a workbench. So, given the right resources, flint can be created anywhere.
If you set fire to a chicken, pig or cow, after the death of the animal, you will receive already fried meat.
Flint is obtained by excavating gravel. This is best done with a shovel. Gravel can be found on the banks of water bodies under a layer of sand, in natural depressions and pits. Dig it carefully, because if a block of this material falls on your head, you will begin to choke. In addition, water or lava can be hidden above or behind a block of gravel, which threatens with unpleasant consequences. When a block of gravel is destroyed, there is a ten percent chance of producing flint. So it is very easy to collect resources for one flint.
Iron is a common ore that can be found below level 64. It appears in the world in veins of several blocks. You don't have to go deep into the caves to find a couple of iron blocks. You need to get it with a stone, diamond or gold pickaxe. Wooden will only destroy a block of ore without any sense. The mined ore blocks must be smelted in the furnace to obtain iron ingots.
Any flint can be repaired on an anvil, but taking into account the fact that its creation requires only a unit of iron and flint, it is easier to create a new one.
How to make a lighter?
To create a lighter (flint), you need to place flint and iron diagonally in the crafting window. In this case, the flint should be to the right and below.
Flame is a great alternative to torches. This does not work very well in the ordinary world, as the fire goes out over time, but in the Nether world, most of whose surfaces are made of hellstone, the flame can burn forever. So if you are going to dig up the Nether, take flint with you.
