Remember that time when notch said torches wouldn't be permanent and should be relit with flint and steel but iron is rare
so i thought how about a sticks firestarter will act the same way as flint and steel but can only be used once and craftd the same way only using sticks.
EDIT:Iron is not rare but not so common and you won't usually find them on your first 3 days.

Iron is not rare. You just aren't doing it right. Suggestion totally invalid. :tongue.gif:
I say keep torches if someone made a giant city and then notch made torches go out and have to be relight it would be a pain to light up 1000 torches again.

I think a fire starter made of wooden sticks is irrelevant, because we already have flint and steel. Also, I would be very angry with Notch if he lets all my torches run out!

Medieval builder and texture artists. Also totally awesome.
I like this idea. Yes, iron isn't terribly rare. But especially for the first couple of days, if you prefer to spend them on the surface and start mining later, but don't happen to find a surface iron deposit (they're not really rare, but not so common you can always count on finding one either), it would give you more options. Making it break after one use would keep it balanced, so you still want to upgrade to flint and steel if possible. It would also be a good option for people playing a nomadic lifestyle game, who have less access to ores of any kind. And heck, it could even function as an emergency back-up if you suddenly realize in horror that your flint and steal are about to break and trap you in the dark, haha! For most players it would probably end up like the wooden pickaxe - use it once if at all, then upgrade and forget about it. And its usefulness depends in part on how long it will take torches to burn out. But it could be useful under certain circumstances, so I endorse this idea :-)

Thats why you use Glowstone, lava, netherack and other alternative sources of lighting. I only use torches for long tunnels that need to be cheaply lit. Besides, if notch made torches extinguish after a certain time, I'd never use them again, and use lanterns where I used torches.

"Save the whales collect the whole set!"
Way to miss the point...
Iron is pretty damn common, and it occurs in small groups. Want to see just how common it is? Get zombe's mods, and look down. you'll thank me later.
Also the OP seed iron is rare WTF I have like 1000 Iron unused.
...im so happy I could hug you over the internet.
And Iron is is just slightly more rare than coal.....
"Theres a mod for that."
Exactly I have so much coal I don't even mine it any more.
PS:I Hope your a girl, or hugging would make us look gay. :tongue.gif:
LOl , well , a No should fit well.

...and coal is really rare.................... compared to stone.
Coal is not rare at all....
... ahh re-read the post! ~ Its a joke Joice!
2. One use?
3. All Torches on walls and in chests/invetory will turn into lanterns.

@OP: Iron isn't rare at all!
