You can create TNT bombs in Minecraft. When activated, the bomb explodes, shattering pieces of rock, killing monsters and destroying everything around.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Method 1: Fire

Step 1. You will need flint and steel

Step 2. Click on TNT
It will catch fire and explode.

Step 3. You can use a fireball or lava for this
Like this:
- Fireball: Shoot at TNT. Don't miss.
- Lava: Place lava near TNT. When the lava forms fire, TNT will explode.
- Note: Lava comes in handy if you want to blast TNT deep underground or in the Nether.
Method 2 of 4: Method 2: Using red dust

Step 1. Connect the red dust wire to the TNT
This can be done in several ways:
- Place the lever next to TNT, click on it.
- Place the button next to TNT. Click and walk away.
- Connect the wire to TNT.
- Stand on the pressure plate next to the TNT.
- Place the red torch next to TNT.

Step 2. Use red dust to create distance between yourself and the bomb
Place the red dust on the approach to the TNT with a strip. Install the lever or button.
Do not place more than 15 red dust blocks. After every 15 blocks, a red repeater must be installed

Advice
- To make TNT, mix gunpowder and sand in a checkerboard pattern.
- If you want, you can blow up a rock or cave to get inside.
- Beds behave like TNT bombs in the Nether, but not in the Upper.
- Protect yourself from TNT blast. If you (or the monster) are sitting in the minecart, the explosion will hardly hit you.
- TNT explosions do not overlap one another.
- TNT is only created to cause explosions. When you use Nether beds, they also explode. Creepers also explode.
- TNT is the favorite weapon of the trolls.
- If you have an old version of Minecraft and install TNT in your home, pour water over it to prevent it from exploding.
- If TNT is detonated in water, the blocks will not be destroyed. But such an explosion can easily wreak havoc on monsters or your character.
- Obsidian, bedrock and some other blocks are not destroyed by the TNT explosion. You can make bomb shelters from them.
Warnings
- Do not place too much TNT, your game will slow down. The larger the explosion, the faster the computer must be.
- Don't get close to TNT. You can explode.
