Arguments
loot table
Specifies which loot table to use.
x y z
Specifies the position of a block or location in the world where the command should be executed. May use tilde notation to specify a position relative to the command's execution.
selector
Specifies one or more entities to modify. Must be a player name or target selector.
slot
Specifies the inventory slot to be modified. Valid values depend on whether a block or an entity is being modified.
For blocks, must be container.slot_number where slot_number is replaced with a number specifying the slot.
  • Chests, dispensers, droppers, hoppers, and trapped chests are numbered 0 for the top-left slot and then increase first horizontally, then vertically (so, for example, a chest's top row slots are numbered 0 to 8 from left to right). Double chests and double trapped chests are treated as two single container blocks.
  • A brewing stand's bottom slots are numbered 0 to 2 from left to right, its top slot is 3 and the fuel slot is 4.
  • A furnace's slots are numbered 0 for the input slot, 1 for the fuel slot, and 2 for the output slot.
Other blocks which hold items but don't have inventory GUIs (flower pots and jukeboxes) can only be changed with /data.
For entities, must be one of the following, where slot_number is replaced with a number specifying the slot:
Slot Slot Numbers Restrictions
armor.chest armor stands, mobs, and players only (though not all mobs will show or make use of the items)
armor.feet
armor.head

horse.armor horses and llamas only; item must be a type of horse armor (if a horse) or a carpet (if a llama)
horse.slot_number 0–14 donkeys and mules with chests only
villager.slot_number 0–7 villagers only
The inventory of an item frame can only be changed with /data.
item
Specifies the item. Must be an item id, or a block id for which an item exists (for example, minecraft:golden_sword).
amount
Specifies the number of items. Must be between 1 and 64 (inclusive), even for items with a smaller stack size.
Result
Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly or the specified source entity doesn't have a loot table (for example, players do not have loot tables).
On success, returns if items were dropped onto the ground in the direction specified.

'''A very fine item''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|isolation}} dimension.

== Appearance ==
The texture of a very fine item resembles the side face of a grass block with the words "Home Sweet Home" written on it. Unlike most items, its texture is 64x64 pixels, rather than the usual 16x16.

== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
A very fine item can only be obtained from an item frame in the {{Code|isolation}} dimension. There is a maximum of 1 fine item that can be found legitimately in any world.

=== Cheats/Creative mode ===
This item can't be found in the creative inventory, but it can be middle-click duplicated in creative mode or given with the {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:fine_item <amount>}} command.

== Usage ==
This item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. It can still be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame.

'''Flint and steel''' is a [[tool]] used to create [[fire]] or to ignite certain blocks, structures and mobs.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|flint-and-steel}}

== Usage ==
=== Igniting ===

When {{control|use|text=used}} on the space above any solid top surface, on any side of any flammable block or any side of any [[obsidian]] block within a valid unlit [[nether portal]] frame regardless of if there is a solid top surface available, the flint and steel places a [[fire]] there.

Flint and steel can be used to light unlit [[campfire]]s, [[candle]]s and [[cake|cakes with candles]].

Flint and steel can be used to light [[nether portal]]s, as any fire existing within an appropriate [[obsidian]] frame will instantly be replaced with [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal blocks]] that occupy the entirety of the frame.

Using flint and steel on [[TNT]] ignites it. The explosion damage dealt by TNT ignited with flint and steel in this specific way counts as the player's attack. If the player is {{Control|sneak|text=sneaking}} a fire is instead placed on the side of the TNT the flint and steel was used on.

A flint and steel can be used on a [[creeper]] to force it to explode. Explosions initiated in this way cannot be cancelled.

When powered, a [[dispenser]] containing flint and steel can place fires or ignite relevant blocks such as TNT or campfires in the space directly in front of it. This reduces the flint and steel's durability. A dispenser containing a flint and steel cannot detonate creepers.

=== Enchantments ===

Flint and steel can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* In [[Adventure mode]], flint and steel cannot light fires, nor can it ignite nether portals (unless it has the tag {{cd|CanPlaceOn:obsidian}}). However, it can still ignite TNT and creepers.
* The name "Flint and Steel" may be misleading and is inaccurate considering the game doesn’t have and possibly will have [[Java Edition mentioned features#Steel|steel]] in the game and it's crafted with iron instead. This is similar to the [[Old Growth Taiga|Old Growth Pine Taiga]], as there are no pines in the game and they have [[Spruce|Spruce Trees]] instead.
**In real life, Iron can’t be used as a fire striker, so Mojang had to rename it to Flint and Steel so it makes more sense. This explains why it is called Flint and Steel, but there is no steel in the game.
**Steel was mentioned by Mojang, as a “stronger” iron, but shortly rejected, and there are no currently no plans to add it to the game.
* Flint and steel cannot light end portals.
* Flint and Steel is the first item to mention another item that is not in the game.
*In the April Fools Snapshot, [[Java Edition 23w13a or b]], one of the possible voted was “Flint and Steel can ignite any block”.
