About
TNT is a stackable explosive block in Minecraft that can be detonated by redstone, fire, flint and steel, or impact from a falling block. When it explodes, it destroys nearby blocks and deals damage to entities, making it useful for mining operations, clearing terrain, or building redstone contraptions.
Admins typically spawn TNT using /give @p minecraft:tnt 1 to quickly supply players or test explosive mechanics. The block stacks up to 64 per slot, so large demolition projects require multiple stacks. Be aware that TNT explosions can damage the terrain significantly, on survival servers, consider restricting access or using it only in designated areas to prevent griefing.
