About Fire Charge
A Fire Charge is a single-use fire starter. Right-click a block with one in your hand and it sets the block alight, like flint and steel, but the charge is consumed. It also works in dispensers. A dispenser loaded with fire charges shoots a small fireball that can set fires and damage mobs, which makes it useful for traps and base defence.
In crafting, a fire charge can also be used to make a firework star with a large ball effect.
How to get Fire Charge
You can craft three fire charges from one blaze powder, one coal or charcoal, and one gunpowder. Blaze powder usually makes the Nether the gating step. You may also find fire charges in ruined portal chests, and piglins sometimes barter them for gold ingots.
