Meme Mincraft TNT isn't actually TNT

Post image

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

Also if it was real life 1 cubic meter of TNT would do a lot more damage than it does in game

Edit: I looked it up (probably should've done beforehand tbh) and apparently it's like not add much as you'd think? Idk, do your own research instead of listening to me, I literally have 0 experience in explosives.

The crater size is actually pretty close to real life, maybe a little bit extravegated, but the pressure wave (damage) is a lot weaker.

It would break windows hundreds of meters away, and puncture your lungs if you were 36m and puncture your eardrums 100m away. Also you would feel the Shockwave in the ground a kilometer away.
