To make Flint and Steel in Minecraft, players only need two ingredients:

  • 1 Iron Ingot
  • 1 Flint

Iron Ingots are created when players smelt Raw Iron, which can be obtained while mining with a Stone pickaxe or an improved variant. Flint can drop when Gravel is destroyed. While players can use just about anything to break a Gravel block, using a shovel is much faster.

To get through Gravel faster, players should quickly place down a torch underneath a series of Gravel blocks; this will immediately destroy the Gravel directly above the torch.

Once players have gotten their hands on an Iron Ingot and some Flint, they must interact with a Crafting Table and place the materials next to each other diagonally. This will create Flint and Steel, one of the many useful tools in Minecraft. Here is a video demonstrating how to obtained the required materials to make Flint and Steel and exactly how to craft it:
