Minecraft tnt blast video

In [Minecraft](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/09v6kpg&q=minecraft+tnt+blast+description), a TNT blast is a destructive physical event triggered when a TNT block is "primed," turning it into a gravity-affected entity that detonates after a short delay. It is primarily used for large-scale excavation, finding resources, or creating traps. [1, 2, 3, 4] ## Explosive Mechanics * Power & Radius: TNT has an explosion power of 4, which is stronger than a standard Creeper (power 3). This power creates a roughly spherical crater with a maximum block-breaking radius of approximately 6.9 blocks in open air. * Fuse Timer: Once activated, the fuse lasts for 80 game ticks (4 seconds). If ignited by a nearby explosion, the fuse is significantly shorter, ranging from 10 to 30 ticks (0.5 to 1.5 seconds). * Block Destruction: When it explodes, TNT has a 100% drop rate for the blocks it destroys, making it highly efficient for gathering large quantities of material quickly. * Water Interaction: If TNT detonates while submerged in water or lava, it does not break blocks but still damages players and mobs. [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8] ## Activation Methods TNT can be primed through several interactions: [9, 10] * Direct Ignition: Using Flint and Steel or a Fire Charge. * Redstone: Receiving a signal from a button, lever, redstone torch, or pressure plate. * Projectiles: Being hit by a Flame-enchanted arrow, a Ghast's fireball, or an arrow that has passed through fire. * Environmental Factors: Contact with spreading fire, lava, or the blast of a nearby explosion. [1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13] ## Blast Resistance While TNT can destroy most blocks, certain materials are completely immune to its blast: [14, 15] * Indestructible: Bedrock, Obsidian, Ancient Debris, Barriers, and End Portal Frames. * Liquids: Water and stationary lava source blocks are not destroyed.
