Blaze Rod

The Blaze Rod was first added in the 1.9 Pre-Release. This item's use is currently unknown. It is used to craft Brewing Stands due to a recent screenshot posted by Jeb. It is dropped from Blaze mobs which are found in or near Nether Ruins. These mobs shoot fire at the player and appear to be made of this item, hence the name "blaze rods."

Usage
Can be crafted into two Blaze Powder. Can be crafted into a brewing stand with cobblestone Can also be used as fuel for Furnaces, lasting 12 uses.
