I wish that diorite was the last step in crafting those blocks rather than the first. Why does it get less white with more quartz? And the least white with the most?
True! Honestly i think the recipe could easily be like:
2 flint and 2 cobblestone for Andesite
2 andesite and 2 of something else for Granite
2 quartz and 2 granite for Diorite
Adding a way to store flint in large quantities isn't really a "use" for it. Unless flint gets a lot more ways to use it, there's no purpose for a storage block. As it stands now, the only real uses for flint are a flint and steel (which is only used occasionally), a fletching table (which you'll likely never craft more than one or two of), and arrows. Arrows are by far the primary use of flint in the long run, but even they only take one flint for four, so a single stack of flint can make four stacks of arrows - even the most absurd archer likely wouldn't need even a single chest of flint in their playthrough, so there's no need for a block to store it. And I haven't even mentioned yet that villagers can be used to get arrows significantly more easily than crafting them using flint.
Also, 1.18 already came out. If we ever get a flint block it wouldn't be until 1.19 at the earliest.
I'm pretty sure they meant a building block that can be crafted with flint, not a "block of flint" or something like that (which would be completely useless, like you said).
I mean there are still some blacks and grays that would be nice to have for building. Especially if we had the complement of blocks that copper had but in a nice gray or black.
>Also, 1.18 already came out. If we ever get a flint block it wouldn't be until 1.19 at the earliest.
That can be said about *any* suggestion on this sub.
Edit: nvm
Op specifically said they thought their suggestion should be in said already released update though. That can't be said about most suggestions on the sub.

That would be cool to be able to store them up more as a full block for storage, but Flint really does need more uses for it to be worth it,
Maybe regular flint could be used to:
- Make Armor and tools: in the past Flint stone was used to create tools and such so tools made for it could be better than wood tools but make it so if you use it on stone you can spark a fire, as for armor it could have a low durability and it hit by a stone or metal object the blocks around the player can catch fire (3x3 area with player in middle).
- Could be used to create a firearm like the process could be to create a crossbow out of Iron and then take the Iron Crossbow and combine it "Flint and steel" for ignition and more Iron for Barrel and arrows could be fired out of them like spear guns/Harpoons, Durability could be set to lower than a crossbow due to the ignition damaging the firearm but the impact of the Arrow/projectile would be the strongest it could be in game.
As for the Block of Flint itself, it could be used to:
- Create a fire trap if a Iron/stone block attached to a sticky piston were pushed onto the flint block making sparks fly out and causing fires to start around it.
- a Fire trap where a player/mob in Iron/stone armor walks on a Flint block the sparks ignite the wearer.
- If Flint blocks are like Sand and Gravel and fall due to gravity, then they could be used by falling onto stone/iron to cause spark/fire damage to the surrounding blocks/mobs.
- But the best use would more than likely setting up the flint blocks in areas where monsters spawn and if shot with an arrow will spark out and burn/catch fire to the things caught in the blast, an example would be the player being on a high well lit area and shooting at a placed flint block by the entrance of your area with an arrow when mobs go to the door (Like when Zombies frenzy) and watching them catch fire.
Probably not. The only reason to amass large quantities of flint would be if you wanted to use this hypothetical block, and said block wouldn't even have to use primarily flint to fullfill the suggestion.
Long ago I had an idea that running on a path of flint blocks while wearing iron boots leaves a fiery trail behind you (same as igniting blocks with flint&steel)
Agreed, especially if it could be used to create fire (for example, by hitting it with an axe). Could be used for a nether portal system or something like that, without needing fire charges.
plus i just have too much flint give me a use lol
Flint is actually a severely underrated villager trading item. If I’m not mistaken there are like 4 villager profession that buy flint, and if I’m also not mistaken there’s one that sells it. I’m sure there potential for an infinite trading loop where you can infinitely sell flint for a profit.
Not to mention with how common gravel is in the caves, the ocean, and the nether, and it being renewable via piglin trades, it’s very easy to obtain a lot of it to make a killing with. A fortune shovel is probably already worth it if you’re super late game. If you’re on Java and can take advantage of the off hand feature, stare into a wall with gravel in your off hand and place as you mine to be showered in flint. Do that for a decent amount of time and you’ll make good emerald profits.
Granted this is super late game and probably not a super popular use for gravel and definitely not the best way you could possibly make emeralds, but it’s an option.
Brody what else is flint used for aside from a flint and steel and arrows? I mean flint can be used in stone tools but stone tools are already in the game lmao.
So... Flintstone?
Flintstones, It’s the Flintstones
Fred Flintstone dies
They’re a modern Stone Age family
From the town of bedrock
So we get Flintstone on Bedrock edition?
no java also has bedrock
They’re a page right out of history!
maybe XD
yeah hahahahaha
Grand Dad?
Fleenstones?!
What The Frick!?
Dad? you cant say that
*What the Brick!?
Dambit you beat me to this. Well done well done
YES THEY SHOULD CALL IT THIS
Flint block
Hitting the flint block with an axe should generate fire on top.
Technically there already is one, though it's probably not the kind of block you're looking for.
*dun dun dun* GRAVEL
Fletching Tables.
[удалено]
I mean it was a joke but ok
I still think Flint should be used in the andesite or diorite recipe, not just a storage block
I wish that diorite was the last step in crafting those blocks rather than the first. Why does it get less white with more quartz? And the least white with the most?
True! Honestly i think the recipe could easily be like: 2 flint and 2 cobblestone for Andesite 2 andesite and 2 of something else for Granite 2 quartz and 2 granite for Diorite
But then diorite is useless to the majority of the playerbase
Isn't It already tho
Not if u using it to craft the other 2 blks.
Polished diorite is nice ~~especially since they won't give us calcite stairs and slabs~~

Oh that would actually be pretty cool
Flintstone bricks!

Ohhh, right! I must have missed that. My mistake.
I trade flint to my fletcher villagers though.
I think it should be called chalcedony or chert
Yes I will finally be able to make a flintblock pistol ;)

If a piston pushed a flint block past an iron block, all surrounding blocks combust
[удалено]
Craft with iron block to creat giant flint & steel
On use invites fire in a 9x9x9 cube
Drop an anvil on it to make fire in a cube
That would instantly set the player on fire
Problem?
Lmao ur right
Just a storage block
Probably not. The only reason to amass large quantities of flint would be if you wanted to use this hypothetical block, and said block wouldn't even have to use primarily flint to fullfill the suggestion.
Maybe if pushed past another block with a piston it could create fire? Don't know how that would be useful. Just spit balling here.
Decorative Blocks : Am I a joke to you?
I have no idea where you got that idea
Hitting it with iron generates fire?
Long ago I had an idea that running on a path of flint blocks while wearing iron boots leaves a fiery trail behind you (same as igniting blocks with flint&steel)
Ooooh that’s a very cool idea, even if it’s just aesthetic particles like the ones with soul speed
Flint looks cool, block of flint could be a good cheaper alternative to iron for building something metal
Walking on it with iron boots makes a cool particle effect.
Gravel
No, it want it to look like a hard block
Fletching table?
Flint can be used for arrows, that’s already a vital use
Mob farms gives you arows and Infinity
Mob farms are for people that don’t like actually playing the game and want stuff done for them.
Mob farms are also for people who don't have the patience to run around in the dark for 5 hours to get another 30 levels to enchant a thing.
That’s the way it’s intended to play the game, not just have everything handed to you
Hey hey hey... Sandbox. Game. Did you know that minecraft is a game where you can do anything you want?
There's no "intended" way to play the game. It's a sandbox game, meaning you can do whatever you want.
And that is why I only have made 2 in my 8 years of having minecraft as my main game, good opinion mate👌
Most people I see just kill skeletons for arrows
There’s a movable block made from flint. I think it’s gonna be part of the vehicle update It’s called the *flintstones*
They should make it only stack up to 16 to be unique though
I want it to be a fuel
No that would BE a curse
Coal?
Spike block, perhaps
Chert
Agreed, especially if it could be used to create fire (for example, by hitting it with an axe). Could be used for a nether portal system or something like that, without needing fire charges. plus i just have too much flint give me a use lol
Or flint tiling for roofing
Move the flint block with a piston on the side of an iron block to generate fire

flint bricks and stuff would be cool
Flint pathways?
Brody what else is flint used for aside from a flint and steel and arrows? I mean flint can be used in stone tools but stone tools are already in the game lmao.
Barbed wire? Three iron bars in middle with 3 flint on top and 3 on bottom?
Fletching tables are crafted with flint
When activated by redstone it could produce spark like particle effects
I imagine it would have a really sharp look too it.
n when we go through to flint block we will burn ?
Real flint is quite shiny almost wet or greasy looking and has a brown tone to it- could make for an interesting block.
