Once activated, TNT turns into an entity. It is spawned at the center (+0.5,+0.5,+0.5) of a powered TNT block, while itself is a cube with an edge length of 0.98.

Primed TNT`s texture blinks, with its texture alternating between its standard texture and a pure white texture. The texture will blink at a rate of 2 times per second.

Once spawned, primed TNT is given a vertical velocity of 0.2⃂m/tick, and a horizontal velocity of 0.02⃂m/tick in a random direction. If it does not collide with another block, it will travel 0.166m horizontally on flat ground before it stops. When the countdown timer expires, the TNT explodes. When unsupported, it will fall 77 blocks before exploding. The explosion has an explosive force of 4.

Primed TNT will catch on fire if it is shot through lava. It can be pushed by water.

If the TNT explodes in water, it will do no damage to blocks, but will still damage mobs. In the Console Edition, though, it does not damage mobs.

If the TNT is primed atop any sort of fence post that is two blocks high or larger, it will fall through the fence block it is activated on, and stop on the next one down. It will only damage the fence block it is `stuck` in when it detonates.

To make TNT destroy Blocks in the water, e.g. to enter an ocean monument from the top, one can place sand on the TNT before primed. The sand will fall down one block when the TNT is primed, so it is not immersed in water anymore, and will destroy the surrounding blocks.

Trivia

  • "TNT" stands for Trinitrotoluene.
    • Be that as it may, the use of sand in the crafting recipe references dynamite, a different high explosive consisting of nitroglycerine mixed with diatomaceous earth (which is mostly silica, the same chemical compound as yellow sand).
  • If TNT is blown up just as an arrow passes by, then the arrow is redirected opposite of the blast.
  • Although flint and steel cannot light fires in Adventure Mode, it can still ignite TNT.
  • While under the effects of a Potion of Night Vision, TNT will appear full bright as usual, but will ignore the potion`s effect and take on the light around it when primed, because it`s an entity when it`s primed.
  • If TNT, when primed, hops up and just barely lands on a block directly below and next to it, and then slides off, the TNT will fall, but the explosion will appear where the TNT almost landed before sliding off.
  • It takes 19.75 blocks to fall for it to reduce the timer for one second.
  • Although primed TNT will get caught in cobwebs, TNT propelled fast enough will fly through them without slowing down at all.
  • It is slightly smaller than a full block when activated, as with all entity versions of blocks.
  • Using flint and steel to ignite it will set it off at once, but fire must burn it for many seconds before triggering
  • In the Pi Edition, TNT by default won`t do anything, but when set to data value 1, it will ignite when broken.
  • The longest fuse time of TNT is now 27 minutes and 18.35 seconds.
  • Attempting to ignite TNT while sneaking will result in the block being lit on fire, rather than the TNT becoming primed.

Other uses

Because they are destroyed in one hit, they can be used in spleef arenas. They work better than dirt or other materials and do not need a tool to be destroyed. This use depends on no player coming in with items that could be used to activate TNT.

Due to their destructive force, they are commonly used by griefers.

Data values

TNT uses one ID name: minecraft:tnt. It uses block data to determine whether the TNT should activate when broken or not. It also uses block states, which will replace block data in 1.13.upcoming

History

Classic
0.26 SURVIVAL TEST 9 TNT was added.
When TNT was added in Survival Test, it acted similar to how it did in beta 1.6. Players would have to hit it to prime the block, but the difference was players could hit it again to cancel the detonation.
0.27 SURVIVAL TEST 10 The player started with 10 blocks of TNT in the inventory.
0.29 TNT now works in creative mode.

1.7 TNT can no longer be directly primed by the user, but only by Redstone or any other mechanism that powers the TNT block, as well as by left clicking with Flint and Steel. Hitting the block will simply and safely destroy the block so it can be picked up. Be that as it may, TNT can now be created (using map editors) with a data value of 1 to make it retain the old behavior of being primed when punched.
Monster traps can no longer be created by putting a Pressure Plate directly on top of the block of TNT.
TNT can no longer have torches placed on it. Any torches that were placed previously will disappear.

    Mechanics

    See also: Explosion

    TNT is detonated after being lit on fire (from Flint and Steel, for example) or from receiving an active redstone current. When using TNT in a redstone circuit, it doubles the capacitance over a repeater. There is a four-second fuse time, allowing the player to retreat to a safe distance. When initially placed, TNT does not obey physics. However, after being ignited, the TNT block becomes an Entity, and will perform a slight hop in the air before falling toward the ground, landing on the first solid block it encounters. It will flash white for exactly four seconds, during which time the player can move through it, before it finally explodes.

    The explosion is easily capable of destroying most blocks in the vicinity and will blow up 70% of the vulnerable blocks around it. Fragile blocks, such as Dirt and Sand, are the most affected, while sturdier types, such as Obsidian, are more resistant to the explosion. It is a very infamous Griefing tool, as a TNT block can easily destroy most blocks besides Obsidian and Bedrock. Because of this, it is often banned on servers that don`t allow griefing.

    Source

    TNT naturally generates in Desert Temples where it is used as a trap. The only other way to obtain it is through Crafting, or the menu in Creative mode.

    As of 1.7 - The Update That Changed The World, players can spawn in TNT with a custom fuse time, allowing for TNT that explodes instantly, as well as TNT that takes a long time to explode.
