Fire Charge

The Fire Charge is an item primarily used as ammo for Dispensers but can also be used in a similar fashion to a Flint and Steel; however, using it as a Flint and Steel destroys it after one use when used in Survival.

Crafting
You can craft this item with 1 coal, 1 gunpowder and 1 blaze powder in any crafting slot. In snapshot 12w04a, "regular" coal had to be used, not charcoal, which made the item a nonrenewable resource.

History
The Fire Charge was added in snapshot 12w04a.

Dispensing
When a Fire Charge is launched from a dispenser, it fires a Blaze fireball. Dispensers tend to fire the balls upwards, and as they are not affected by gravity they will continue on a path indefinitely until it comes into contact with a block or mob.

Bugs

 * When you right click with the Fire Charge on a block, the fire created may not render properly according to the block, making it seem to be floating fire.
 * If it travels out of the render distance it eventually stops in mid air. If this accumulates it can cause major lag in the surrounding area.
