Last updated
Ever wondered how to create gunpowder in the vast world of Minecraft? You’re not alone! This article breaks down exactly how you can get your hands on some explosive powder.
Let’s demystify the process of obtaining gunpowder in Minecraft, making sure you’re well-equipped for your adventures.
The Short Form Answer to Making Gunpowder
In Minecraft, you can’t actually ‘make’ gunpowder; instead, you need to gather it. The most common way to get gunpowder is by defeating Creepers, those sneaky, explosive mobs that roam the Minecraft world.
When you defeat a Creeper before it explodes, it often drops gunpowder. Another way to acquire gunpowder is by looting dungeon chests, desert temple chests, or woodland mansion chests. Sometimes, witches also drop gunpowder when defeated. So, keep your swords ready and your eyes peeled for these opportunities!
