About

Flint and Steel is a tool used to ignite fire blocks, activate Nether portals, and light TNT or campfires. Each use consumes one durability point, and the tool will eventually break after approximately 65 strikes.

Unlike most tools, Flint and Steel cannot be repaired on a crafting table or grindstone. Repair it only in an anvil with another Flint and Steel, or use mending to restore durability through experience. Since it does not stack, each player or chest can hold only one at a time.
