Minecraft: craft TNT - how it works

With TNT you protect yourself from opponents and other players in Minecraft. If you craft and place the explosive blocks, you can use them as a trap. As soon as a player or mob touches the trigger, all surrounding blocks are destroyed and he is defeated himself.

Craft TNT in Minecraft

For a TNT block, you need five times black powder and four sand blocks in Minecraft. You then place the black powder in the corners of a crafting table and in the middle. Fill the rest with sand.

• You can mine blocks of sand on almost every beach. It does not matter whether you use the normal or red sand blocks.
• It gets more complicated with black powder: You can get this from Creeper. Defeat the explosive mobs, drop them now and then black powder that you can collect. In rare cases, the powder can also be found in boxes in mines or temples.
• Tip: Place the TNT block in the world and connect a switch to the explosive ground using a redstone. So you can ignite the blocks from a distance.
