Actually Darthwikia25, minecraft coding does not work like that. The coding of minecraft does not combine the total damage of TNT, rather, they do it one at a time. Even when it looks like two TNT go off at the same time (like with redstone), the system actually does it one at a time. This is why it lags a lot when big TNT creations explode, because the coding does one at a time. Each block has a blast resistance level, with stones and other related blocks having around 30, while other things such as wood, dirt, glass, etc are much lower. This is why TNT is more effective against those block than others. End stone has a blast resistance of 60, making it a good block to use if you don't have obsidian to make a TNT defense. Obsidian is immune to TNT, having a blast resistance level of 6,000. Bedrock is in the millions!

In short, if one TNT can't blow it up, an infinite amount of TNT won't cut it either.
