Lighting the Fuse: Blowing Up TNT in Minecraft
To blow up TNT in Minecraft, you need to ignite it. You can do this by using a flint and steel, a redstone torch, a lever, a button, or any redstone block that sends a signal directly to the TNT. Simply right-click on the TNT block with any of these items or connect it with a redstone signal, and boom, you’ve set off an explosion!
This method works in both main game modes of Minecraft – Survival and Creative. Remember, while setting off TNT can be fun, it also destroys blocks around it. So, think carefully about where you want that big boom.
