Flint and steel are tools used to light fire in Minecraft. You can use it to light any block or mob on fire. However, not everything will burn to death; though many will.
You can also use it to burn down any unwanted stuff, an old house or a big forest. Or you can open a nether portal with it. Like many other tools, you can use enchantments on flint and steel to enhance its functionality.
Flint and steel Enchantments
Flint and steel are so readily available in Minecraft that not many players like to enchant this tool. They prefer to remake it every time it breaks or runs out of durability. However, if someone uses flint and steel to light up many things and wants to enchant this tool, he has three options.
Unbreaking
Unbreaking, as the name shows, will prevent your flint and steel from breaking and enhance their durability. Regular flint and steel have 65 durability, which increases multiple times after using unbreaking enchantment. Unbreaking has three levels and can be obtained by trading with villagers, fishing, or from enchanted books.
Mending
Mending is another enchantment with only one level and restores the tool’s durability. If your flint and steel have this enchantment, they will mend whenever you get XP. The selection will be random, if there are more than two items with mending enchantment.
Curse of Vanishing
This is not a very useful enchantment, nor does it benefit you. The curse of vanishing has one level and can’t be removed by grindstone or an enchanting table. If a player dies with an enchanted item in their inventory, that object can’t be restored and will vanish forever.
How to enchant Flint and Steel in Minecraft
Flint and steel can’t be enchanted by using the enchanting table in Minecraft. You have to use an anvil or game command for enchantment.
- Open your anvil and put flint and steel in the first slot and an enchanted book in the second slot.
- You will have your enchanted tool appear in the third slot.
- Save it in your inventory and use it whenever you want.
Enchanted books– you can get it by using an enchantment table or fishing and as a treasure. Also, you can get it from dungeons and chests or by trading with villagers.
Conclusion
Now you know that flint and steel can also be enchanted. Even if not many players enchant it, we can’t deny that these enchantments can benefit players who use flint and steel as a weapon. They can kill any mob on the overworld with flint and steel.
