Flint and steel could be used to set fire to mobs.

I propose you allow flint and steel to be used to set fire directly to a mob. This will be useful in combat, as it will be easier to set mobs on fire in combat with the flint and steel, even if you don't have Fire Aspect. Plus, it just makes sense, why wouldn't you add it?

This would apply to players, too, which could prove useful in PvP combat.

I set this in the Java Combat Snapshot group because it has to do with combat (setting mobs on fire).

    I wonder how this isn't in the game already. It seems like such a small but useful addition and hopefully this can be added. It already works with creepers as an easter egg, but other mobs?

    It works with creepers by blowing them up, not setting them on fire. Other mobs would just be set on fire. It wouldn't make sense for other mobs to explode with a flint and steel.

    Personally, I don't think it's op. Fire aspect is way more overpowered than this, and so if fire aspect exists, then I think this should too.
