How do I get Flame in Minecraft?: Hold a compatible item and run /enchant @p minecraft:flame 1 (Java) or /enchant @p flame 1 (Bedrock). Alternatively, use the /give command above to spawn a pre-enchanted item directly into your inventory.
What is the max level of Flame?: Flame only has one level — it's either present on an item or it isn't.
Does the Flame command work in Bedrock Edition?: Yes. On Bedrock use /enchant @p flame 1 while holding a compatible item. Bedrock omits the "minecraft:" namespace prefix.
