Fire Charge
Fire Charge is an item in Minecraft. It is crafted from 1 Gunpowder, 1 Blaze Powder, and 1 Coal.
A Fire Charge is an item that acts as a single-use alternative to flint and steel, primarily used to ignite fires. It can be used to light Nether portals, set blocks on fire, ignite TNT, and light campfires. Fire charges can also be loaded into dispensers to create fireball projectiles when activated. They are crafted using blaze powder, coal or charcoal, and gunpowder, and can also be found in ruined portal chests, obtained by bartering with piglins, or taken from the dispensers that stock them in trial chambers. Due to their one-time use, they are less efficient than flint and steel but useful for automation and combat.
