TNT in Minecraft

The TNT that has been activated will become an entity that can cause damage, to be precise it explodes the surrounding block area after a few seconds.

If it's already active, TNT can't be pushed either by player and other mobs. However, it can move while in a stream of water or lava. It also cannot be activated on minecarts and boats.

When exploding while in water or lava, TNT won't damage any blocks but still gives damage on players, mobs, and other entities.

To make TNT destroy the blocks that are in the water, for example to enter the sea monument from above. Players can place gravel and sand on top of the TNT before it activates.

activating TNT can make sand or gravel fall by one block and swallow the TNT. Because TNT is no longer submerged in water, it can destroy the blocks around it.

Recipe for Making TNT

Gunpowder

You can get Gunpowder from Mobs like Creeper, Ghast, Witch and Trader.

• Witch can drop 0-6 Gunpowder on death and can increase by three each level for a maximum of 15 Gunpowder
• The trader has a 1/6 chance of selling Gunpowder for one Emerald

Sand and Red Sand

Sand can be obtained without using tools, but for the fastest results you can use a shovel. Sand can be found in various biomes in the Overworld, ponds, and rivers.

Sand can also be produced from ocean ruins, some houses in the desert, desert wells and pyramids. Red Sand itself is formed naturally from the barren land biome in one layer.

What distinguishes it from the usual sand, Red Sand does not have red sandstone that supports underneath. Both types of sand can be spawned in mid-air (an invisible block to define an empty space where another block may exist).
