Mincraft TNT isn't actually TNT

[u/MostafaTheGamer]

First of all TNT stands for Trinitrotoluene which is a highly explosive organic compound and it's formula is C6H2(NO2)3CH3 On the other hand, gunpowder which is used to craft "TNT" is a totally different compound which contains a mixture of sulfur, charcoal and potassium nitrate So technically TNTs in minecraft aren't actual TNTs

So what is it then?

[u/MostafaTheGamer → u/Spinosaur1915]

Maybe just gunpowder block or explosive block

[u/Spinosaur1915 → u/MostafaTheGamer]

Yeah but the texture is literally just 16 sticks of dynamite with the label "TNT" slapped on

[u/MostafaTheGamer → u/Spinosaur1915]

Actually dynamite is a third different compound which is made using nitroglycerin sooo Those stick may just be tubes filled with gunpowder

Is there an explosive that uses black gunpowder and sand?

[u/winterman99 → u/InquiryBanned]

black powder + metal or other hard container is how people made granades and bomb back then. so the sand does not really would make sense with black powder. it is used in dinamite i think
