What is Minecart with TNT in Minecraft?
A Minecart with TNT is a dangerous and explosive type of minecart. It is a regular minecart that has a block of TNT inside it. Its purpose is to create a mobile bomb that can be sent down a railway. When the Minecart with TNT is destroyed or triggered in a specific way, the TNT will detonate, creating a powerful explosion. This can be used for a few different purposes. Players use it for rapid mining, sending it down a track and blowing it up to clear out a large area of blocks very quickly. It can also be used to create traps for unsuspecting players or mobs, or as a powerful weapon in faction wars on servers. It is a fun but very destructive tool that should be handled with extreme care.
How to get Minecart with TNT in Minecraft
The only way to get a Minecart with TNT is by crafting it. The recipe is very simple and combines two items: a regular minecart and a block of TNT. You can craft a minecart using five iron ingots. To craft a block of TNT, you will need five gunpowder and four blocks of sand or red sand. Gunpowder is dropped by Creepers, and sand is found in deserts and on beaches. Once you have both a minecart and a block of TNT, you can place them anywhere in a crafting grid to create one Minecart with TNT. Be very careful once you have crafted it, as it is now a live explosive.
How to use Minecart with TNT in Minecraft
To use a Minecart with TNT, place it on a set of rails. The TNT will arm itself and explode under a few conditions. It will explode if it is destroyed by a weapon or tool while it is moving, if it falls more than three blocks, or if it runs over a powered activator rail. The explosion is more powerful the faster the minecart is moving when it detonates. A common use is to build a long track into a mountainside, send the Minecart with TNT down it at high speed, and have it run over an activator rail at the end to cause a massive explosion for mining. You can also stack multiple Minecarts with TNT on top of each other. When one explodes, it will trigger all the others at the same time, creating a huge, devastating blast.
