Flint
Flint — item.
Obtaining
Flint is the gravel drop used for early tools and ranged weapons. A gravel block normally has a 10% flint branch; Fortune changes the chances to 10%, 14.29%, 25%, and 100% for levels 0–III. Silk Touch always preserves gravel instead.
| Gravel drop | 10% without Fortune |
|---|---|
| Fortune | 14.29% at I, 25% at II, 100% at III |
| Silk Touch | Drops gravel, never flint |
| Renewable route | Gravel supplied by piglin bartering |
| Trade sources | Fletcher, toolsmith, and leatherworker offers |
Usage
Flint is a compact material for arrows, fire starting, and the fletching-table workstation. It is consumed by recipes but is not a placeable block.
| Arrow recipe | 1 flint + 1 stick + 1 feather → 4 arrows |
|---|---|
| Fire tool | Flint + iron ingot → flint and steel |
| Workstation | Two flint above four planks → fletching table |
Crafting ingredient
The three-slot arrow recipe places flint above a stick and a feather. Flint and steel is shapeless, so either ingredient can be placed in any grid slot.
| Arrow pattern | Flint / stick / feather |
|---|---|
| Fire tool | 1 flint + 1 iron ingot |
Trading
Fletchers exchange ten gravel and one emerald for ten flint. At a later trade tier they buy 26 flint for one emerald; toolsmiths, weaponsmiths, and leatherworkers use similar buy offers with different prices.
| Fletcher supply | 10 gravel + 1 emerald → 10 flint |
|---|---|
| Fletcher buy | 26 flint → 1 emerald |
| Toolsmith buy | 30 flint → 1 emerald |
| Weaponsmith buy | 24 flint → 1 emerald |
Generated loot
Flint can also appear in village fletcher-house and ruined-portal chests. These are small stacks, so gravel mining remains the dependable bulk source.
| Ruined portal chest | 1–4 flint |
|---|---|
| Fletcher-house chest | 1–3 flint |
