About

A minecart with TNT is an explosive variant of the standard minecart. When it collides with a block or entity, or when powered by redstone, the TNT ignites and detonates after a short fuse. The explosion destroys blocks and entities in the blast radius.

Admins use these in automated mining operations, quarries, and mob farms where controlled explosions can clear terrain or handle crowds efficiently. Because the minecart is not stackable, you must spawn one at a time using the give command or creative mode.

Note that the explosion may damage the minecart itself and any nearby structures, so placement and timing require careful planning to avoid unintended destruction.
