Quite often, players need to craft devices in order to deftly set something on fire or undermine it. Usually a lighter is used for these purposes, it is also a flint. And in order to craft this item, you have to get silicon. You will not find natural deposits of the breed in the game. Therefore, you have to extract it from gravel.

Looking for silicon
So, to find the right amount of silicon, you should start with patience, a shovel and go into the mine. It is there, having found blocks of gravel, and you can extract a unit of silicon from each 10 block. In order not to simply transfer the breed for nothing, you should use magic and enchant the shovel with the "For luck" spell of the third level. In this case, each time a block of gravel is destroyed, a unit of silicon will fall out. Another place where silicon is mined is the underwater world.
In addition, having collected a large amount of gravel, it is possible to compactly fold it into blocks with silicon without any problems. In order to do this, the player does this - there is a large tower with gravel. Having built it to a decent height, it breaks it with an enchanted pickaxe. All silicon blocks are ready.

Silicon objects

Only a few items are crafted with silicon. The first is flint. You need to put an iron ingot and a silicon unit in the workbench. The second is an arrow. To craft which you need to have a stick (1 unit), a feather (1 unit), silicon (one unit).

Flint ID: 318.

NID: flint.

Flint is the English name for flint in Minecraft. Remember Captain John Flint from Treasure Island? Although this is a completely different, not minecraft story.

In real life, flint is a symbol of strength and stamina. And also - it is a mineral formation, known since ancient times, as well as - a chemical element of group IV of the periodic system. But in Minecraft, flint is stuff, and as the Minecraft Wiki says: " Materials - items that are used exclusively in the crafting of other items or blocks. In other words, they are all ingredients for crafting, but by themselves they cannot perform any function and do not have any practical value.".

And therefore we are interested in very specific tasks:

There are five flint units in the image.

How to get flint

The catch does not wait for the catcher (proverb).

Note that flint and coal in Minecraft are a bit similar. Although coal is darker than flint and its image is as if "mirror-like". Flint is obtained either from gravel or by trading with a villager (archer).

It's simple: we destroy gravel - we get flint. But not in a hundred percent of cases. Only the 3rd level enchantment "Luck" will give 100%, while "Luck II" - up to 25%, "Luck I" - 14%. The chance of getting flint by destroying gravel without enchanting is 10 percent. Obviously, crushing gravel with a "Silk Touch" tool will not get any flint. You can get gravel with any tool, but a shovel will cope with this work faster.

Where to find gravel in Minecraft? Gravel is a non-renewable block. You need to look for it under water, on beaches, in villages (but not in deserted ones). He also comes across in Hell at heights of 63, 64 and 65.

About trade. You can buy from an archer for 10 blocks of gravel and one emerald, taking 6-10 pieces of flint from him. This amount is typical for Minecraft since version 1.8. In the earlier game, villagers (farmers only) sold 4–5 flints for 1 emerald and 10 gravel.

Flint does not fall out of gravel every time.

Flint crafting recipes

Tough as flint: you can't hit with a butt, you won't see a spark (proverb).

There are few crafting recipes - only two. Flint is used as an ingredient for crafting arrows and lighters. Arrows, most likely, will have to be crafted constantly, of course, if there is no bow enchanted with endless arrows.

How to make an arrow

Truth overtakes a lie, and the fastest one gets an arrow (proverb).

In this crafting recipe, you will get four arrows at once. They are needed to hit a target at a distance using, of course, a bow.

Having studied this article, you will understand how to make flint in Minecraft - a mineral, the hardness of which has served as what is similarly called a persistent and strong-willed person. In the game, however, it is not the most popular resource, it is not used at every step, it is not thought of every hour. But sometimes they can't do without it. Especially if the distance in battle matters, because you can craft an arrow from flint, which is indispensable in long-range combat in Minecraft.

They remember this subject even when it is necessary to make a fire. You might have guessed about such an application, because in life it can also be found in lighters. And at one time he was so popular that for many centuries he crowned the antediluvian life hack charts. So, despite the modest list of uses, this modesty is deceiving - no, no, and you need flint in Minecraft, and if you don't know how to make it, then you start reproaching yourself for being careless and rustling Internet pages. Therefore, one, this one, rustle in advance in order to come fully armed to the current moment.

How to get flint in Minecraft

To make flint, you must first find gravel in Minecraft. It is from it that the material we need falls out. True, with a probability of only ten percent. That is, digging up a dozen blocks, we get one block of flint. Not a lot, but on the other hand, crafters often accumulate unnecessary gravel. Rationality lies in the fact that he was lying in Minecraft not in vain, but, being shoveled, confirmed the statistics of flint falling out. Gravel can be found in natural pits, underground and water. Sometimes it comes across in hell. Like sand, it is a free flowing material that allows you to use almost all tools. However, the shovel is most suitable in Minecraft, since the rate of destruction increases.

Speaking about instruments, it is necessary to say about the possibility to “score” with a ten percent probability. If you want everything one hundred percent, use the third level of the Luck spell in Minecraft, enchant it with an improvised tool. With such a magical tool, you will surely achieve flint loss.

How to make items from flint

Above we said that you can craft in Minecraft using this material. Now let's describe the crafting process in more detail.

To make an arrow in Minecraft, you need a feather, a stick and, of course, flint

To acquire flint in Minecraft, in addition to flint, you need an iron ingot.

Note also that the mineral falling out of the gravel makes it impossible to reuse the gravel. That is, the endless mining of flint, based on statistics, will not work. And one more thing: if gravel falls on the rails in Minecraft, it breaks automatically, but the flint never falls out next.

By the way, we recommend playing Minecraft in English - the complexity of the gameplay will not increase much, but improve your knowledge of the main language in the world. Other games that will help you to playfully learn English - on the site

Crafting an arrow or flint in Minecraft is impossible to imagine without the use of flint. It is not difficult to get it in the game, but there are some secrets that you can use when "mining".

Gravel is the only source of flint in Minecraft. With a 1/10 chance, flint falls out when mining (usually with a shovel) gravel. That is, reasoning mathematically, the player will need to recycle a stack of gravel (64 blocks) to get only 6 pieces. flint. Experienced players accelerate this costly method in two ways.

The first is to use a torch to smash. The mechanism of the game is such that when falling onto a torch, gravel falls out in the form of a block. This can be exploited by placing the gravel vertically on a wall without support. Under the influence of gravity, it will fall on the installed torch below, falling out in the form of a block or flint. This method is gradually becoming a thing of the past, because gradually stops working with updates.

The second way is to enchant the shovel (the tool with which gravel is the fastest) with Luck III. With this enchant, gravel will drop 100% of the time. Then, not only will you not need to re-collect it to check, but you can also get by with one shovel in your inventory. The strength of a diamond shovel of 1562 units will allow you to extract up to 10-15 stacks of flint.

Surprisingly, despite the controversy of gamers about the beauty and realistic graphics, "square" Minecraft has long been an extremely popular game.

"Kubach", despite its extremely primitive outlines and the simplest system of interaction with objects, confidently holds its rightful place among the leaders both in multiplayer online games and in solo playthrough not only on consoles (the PS3 edition even in the screensavers boasts many set records) and on personal computers.

With an interesting plot start and total freedom of action, this game is breathtaking and awakens the enthusiasm of the experimenter in us.

Flint

As for crafting, flint plays a separate role in it (as an integral part of recipes). Having received it, you can safely start crafting necessary and fairly rare items. For example, using a flint, you can build an arrow (we also need a stick and a feather). It would be nice to get a flint (for which, in addition to flint, it is enough just to find an iron ingot).

In order to make flint in Minecraft, you do not need to build anything in a crucible and dig long tunnels, periodically meeting skeletons and spiders in caves. Surprisingly, this time the Minecraft developers did not invent anything beyond what is in "nature".

Everything is much simpler - we extract gravel, we get the desired flint. True, the drop rate is quite low - the chance is only 10%. Fortunately, this difficulty can be overcome in two ways (and, moreover, the second method does not exclude the first):

• First, you can just collect more gravel - a huge pile will give 10% of the blocks of its volume.
• Secondly, you can tinker a little with your tools: just get a third-level luck spell and enchant a pickaxe with it - in this case, flint will always fall out when the pickaxe hits the gravel (the chance of falling out will be increased to 100%).

Inventory

Some players complain that they can't get flint from gravel and are looking for other ways to make it.

In fact, they just need to look better in their inventory, as the design of the flint in Minecraft is very similar to coal, only slightly lighter on the other side.
