Examinations of the Minecraft code have shown that multiple explosions do not add damage to blocks; any block that is not destroyed by one TNT immediately adjacent to it will not be destroyed by additional TNT" Therefore saying that the TNT damage value would have to be greater than or equal to 18,, AspiringGenious AspiringGenious 1 1 gold badge 3 3 silver badges 13 13 bronze badges.

On that same wiki it quotes, "Notch confirmed on the 11th of February , during a Machinima Live stream,[1] that it is indestructible, or so solid that the amount of TNT it would take to destroy it would more than certainly crash the game, therefore the save file would show no evidence of the explosion ever happening. Which actually seems to support SevenSidedDie's comment and contradict the previous paragraph.

Furthermore the comment from Notch is cited while the "examination of Minecraft code" is not. I was there in person when Notch said that. He had stated that mining bedrock has a mining value of -1, which means that no matter how long you attack bedrock, it would never be mined. Explosions however from my experience do add up, as you can destroy obsidian with enough TNT. As Notch stated, no computer has enough computing power to create enough explosive power to break bedrock.

Well, I love disputing this, but do you have any evidence? If you find a source, I would be more than happy to look at it, and FYI in the alpha days, you could mine bedrock.

Look it up! Only TNT Minecarts have this capability. You cannot blast through bedrock using TNT. MrLemon 17k 4 4 gold badges 53 53 silver badges 79 79 bronze badges. Screenshot of the Week.

You'll need 5 pieces of gunpowder in order to craft a piece of TNT. Get 4 sand blocks. You can use regular sand or red sand. Both work the same and can be mixed during the creation of TNT. You can find sand most commonly in the following biomes and areas: Beaches Deserts Riverbanks Mesa red sand. Open your crafting window. Use your crafting table to open the crafting grid.

Place the gunpowder in an "X" pattern. Place one gunpowder in each corner of the grid, then place the last piece in the center. Fill the remaining spaces with sand or red sand, or a combination of the two. Place sand blocks in the four open spaces left in the grid.

This will create TNT. Add the TNT to your inventory. Drag the TNT from the result grid and add it to your inventory. You can now place it in your world to be blown up. Part 2. Use flint and steel to light a TNT block. This is the simplest way to detonate TNT.

See Make Flint and Steel in Minecraft for instructions on crafting it. Walk up to the TNT with flint and steel equipped to light it.

The TNT block will begin flashing when lit. Make sure to back up to a safe distance before it explodes 4 seconds after being lit. TNT has an explosive radius of about 7 blocks.

Use a flaming arrow to light the TNT. If you want to be a little safer when setting off your TNT, you can use a flaming arrow to light it.

You can enchant your bow with flame to make them shoot flaming arrows by using an enchanting table. See Make an Enchantment Table in Minecraft for instructions on creating an enchantment table and using lapis lazuli to enchant items. You can also light an arrow by shooting it through fire or lava. So you can build a fire in front of your TNT block and shoot an arrow through it to light the arrow and detonate the TNT.

Use a fire charge to light the TNT. You can create a fire charge by placing a charcoal in the center of the grid, a blaze powder to the left of it, and a gunpowder below it. Fire charges are not as efficient as flint and steel, as you lose the charge that you throw. Throwing a fire charge at the TNT will light it. You can throw the fire charge by selecting it in your inventory and then using the item.

Putting a fire charge in a dispenser will cause it to shoot out as a fireball when triggered. This is not as useful for TNT since the fireball shoots at a random angle. Since the explosion does not produce an exact radius, make sure your TNT is well within the explosion, no more than 3 or four blocks from the original TNT.

When one block of TNT sits on a bed of stone, it can only destroy one stone block beneath it. You could save TNT if it were somehow already placed every third block underground, but to do that you'd have to dig down there and then what's the TNT for? Repeat until you see bedrock.
