In short, to get flint in Minecraft, you will need to find gravel and break the block with a shovel; once a gravel block is broken, flint will potentially drop on the ground. So with this in mind, you can find gravel at the locations listed below

  • Near beaches, 
  • Bottom of Ocean Biomes
  • Mountains
  • Inside caves and ravines
  • Underground between Y-levels 63 and 65.

When you find gravel, it should look something like the image below; at this point, just whip out your trusty shovel and break the block, but wait, there's more. If you were to simply break the block normally, you will only have a ten percent of flint to drop from gravel.
