 Description   

I created flint and steel. But can't get it to work to start a fire. I tried it on wool and wood. I tried:

  • tapping on item to light with flint and steel in hand -> no effect
  • press and hold on item to light -> acts as a tool to break the item (like a pick or axe)
  • pressing the flint and steel in the bar for held inventory -> throws the flint and steel

Fires would be nice.

My device: Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Playing in peaceful mode.

Flint & Steel will not light fires as of 5.0. Fire was glitchy (as seen in lava and invedit ((a modding program for Minecraft PE)) ) so they removed it. And they did not patch it yet because there not going to release everything at once!

I don't think it's been implemented yet, it's only version 0.4.0. FYI, it doesn't work on iOS either, i've tried it. As far as I know, Flint&steel will only light TNT as of now.
