TNT

TNT is an explosive block that can destroy Blocks within a small radius when primed.

Crafting

 * 5 Gunpowder + 4 Sand/Red Sand => 1 TNT

Uses

 * TNT can be used for clearing a large area of land.
 * It can be used as an expensive way to kill mobs.
 * It can be used for resource-finding purposes.
 * It can be used to set up traps as well.

Activating
TNT can be activated by:
 * Using Flint and Steel
 * Shooting it with a Flame Enchanted Bow or an Arrow passing through Lava
 * Using a Redstone power source
 * Lava or Fire nearby
 * Using a Fire Charge

Trivia

 * TNT explosions are larger than a Creeper's.
 * In Creative, TNT was only ignitable using lava before Update 0.8.0.
 * Endermen can pick up TNT, but if it's primed, they will immediately drop it.
 * This is because primed TNT is not counted as a block, but as an entity, thus it is 'dropped'.
 * If the Enderman drops TNT, it will explode immediately.
 * TNT can be lit underwater; however, blocks cannot be destroyed by TNT underwater.
 * It will still damage surrounding entities and players.
 * TNT obeys gravity when ignited.
 * It will move slightly when ignited as well.
 * TNT is affected by flowing water when ignited, but not by flowing lava.
 * Blowing up TNT next to other TNT will immediately toss the nearby TNT into the air and prime it to explode in a briefer time limit than normal TNT time.
 * During an early version of the game, blowing up TNT while it was next to another TNT block would crash your game, and create a crater. This was fixed the update after that.
