Arqade Asked on February 10, 2021
I wanted to get some flint in a Minecraft server and had some gravel. According to what I read, I could get flint from gravel that I placed myself.
I started trying and it was unsuccessful. I then tried for a few more times but all did not work.
I’m on Minecraft 1.12.2 Forge client and Waterfall 1.12.2 server with plugins. I don’t know if this is intentional or is a feature with Waterfall or some plugins of the server. If you could get flint from mining gravel you placed, it would make no sense (at least to me)! Or is this only a feature for newer versions(eg 1.16)?
What is going on here?
Edit: I also tried this in Singleplayer on the same version and it also did not work. Are the stuff that I read lying to me or am I just very unlucky?
Edit 2: I’m not using a Silk Touch tool
Yes, you can get flint from it even if you placed it. Flint has a small random chance of dropping. If you mine the block with fortune enchantment, it will be more likely to drop flint. If you use a tool with maximum fortune level of III (3), it will have a 100% chance of dropping flint--i.e., it will always drop flint. If you use a tool with silk touch enchantment, it will NEVER drop flint. You may have been using silk if you are having 0 luck with it.

Yes, you can get flint from gravel you placed yourself.
Given a 10% chance to drop flint, you have a 0.515% chance to not get any flint after mining 50 gravel - [(1-0.1)^50]*100. You might have just gotten really unlucky. Or, a mod on your server might have affected your ability to get some (though you say this was replicated in smp, so probably not that)
