Field guide

Item details

How to obtain

  • Generates in large underground veins, gravelly hills, ocean floors, and the Nether around lava seas. Source
  • Mines fastest with a shovel; digging without Silk Touch has a 10% chance to drop flint instead of gravel. Source

Practical uses

  • Crafted with four sand blocks and one dye to make eight concrete powder blocks. Source
  • Crafted with dirt to create coarse dirt, or mined repeatedly for flint to craft arrows and flint and steel. Source

Mechanics

  • Falls under gravity when unsupported; using a shovel with Fortune III guarantees a 100% flint drop rate. Source
