Posted January 10, 2020 Is there any way to light a charcoal pile, forge, oven, kiln, or smelter without a steel & flint? I'm trying out a server where we start with nothing, but there are also no mobs -- so no way to get charcoal for steel except from the charcoal pile, which I can't find a way to light. There is no trader to buy one from, either. I see that other players on the server have managed to light theirs, and would love to know what I'm missing.

Posted January 10, 2020 can use a wood scrap and a kindling to light I believe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2020 Try this Batta and add to the suggestion from Rhianna: If you have lost your steel and flint, light a campfire and place a wood scrap inside. When the scrap is hot, remove it from the campfire, and right-click on your forge, oven, or other fire container to light it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Good luck! You need to have a kindling in your inventory as well with the hot scrap- I have just checked Edited January 10, 2020 by Spolmit Extra Information Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2020 I definitely got the 'warning' when trying to check. As long as it worked for you it does not matter.... but I wonder why there is / was a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
