How to get it

- Loot village fletcher chests or trade with fletcher villagers
Uses
- Craft flint and steel: the classic way to light fires, portals and the occasional forest accident
- Craft arrows by the stack - 1 flint, 1 stick, 1 feather makes 4
- Craft fletching tables to employ villagers as fletchers and unlock arrow trades
- Feed it to your fletchers: they buy gravel and sell flint, a tidy little gravel disposal
Renewability
Renewable: gravel regenerates through piglin bartering, so flint never runs out.
