Usage

Flint and steel lights:

  • Fire, in the space against the face of the block it is used on, if that space is air. Fire set where it cannot stand goes out at once.
  • A Nether portal, when that fire is set on the obsidian floor of a finished frame.
  • TNT, when the TNT is hit with flint and steel in hand.

Each use on a block costs 1 durability, whether or not a fire is lit. Lighting TNT by hitting it costs nothing.
