How to make TNT in Minecraft

TNT is one of the most versatile and essential blocks in the world of Minecraft. As the name suggests, the particular block acts as a TNT and allows you to clear large spaces of blocks when set off. It also causes physical damage to any living being in the radius of the blast. To make a TNT in Minecraft, you will need some sand, gunpowder, and a 3x3 crafting table to create it

Ingredients for TNT in Minecraft 

As mentioned earlier, you will need the following three items to craft a TNT in Minecraft.

  • Sand - They are one of the most common items in Minecraft. You can identify any sand blocks by their light yellow appearance. To collect some sand blocks, visit any water bodies near your surroundings.

  • Gunpowder -  The second ingredient for making TNT is Gunpowder. Unlike sand blocks, gunpowder is a little harder to find. The best way to get gunpowder is to kill some Creepers, Ghast, or Witch monster roaming near your base. They will drop anywhere from 0-2 blocks of gunpowder. But, if you are still confused, here is a detailed guide about finding gunpowders in Minecraft.

Crafting a TNT in Minecraft

After procuring the required materials, craft a TNT from a 3x3 crafting table using the following formation.

You will exactly need five blocks of gunpowder and four blocks of sand to craft one block of TNT. 

In case you don't have a 3x3 crafting table, craft it by using any four wooden planks of your choice.

Can TNT be found naturally in Minecraft?

Yes, TNT is found naturally in the Minecraft universe. But the main issue is they are very rare and are found inside abandoned chest boxes in Sand Temples or wrecked ships. So the easiest way to get TNT is to craft them using the recipe.

Remember, you need to detonate a TNT to make it work. The safest way to detonate any TNT is to use any lever signals.
