How to Light a TNT in Minecraft: A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to make things go ‘boom’ in Minecraft? You’re not alone!
Let’s dive into how you can light a TNT in Minecraft, making your game explosively fun.
Short Answer: Flint and Steel or Redstone
Lighting TNT in Minecraft is simple! You just need Flint and Steel or a Redstone circuit. These tools will ignite your TNT and cause a big explosion. Cool, right?
Flint and Steel can be crafted with an iron ingot and flint. Simply right-click (or tap) the TNT with it. For a more dramatic setup, connect TNT to a Redstone circuit and activate it with a lever, button, or pressure plate. This method allows you to safely detonate from a distance.
