Minecraft:Minecart with TNT

Template:For Template:Infobox item entity A minecart with TNT is a Minecraft:minecart with Minecraft:TNT inside. Unlike normal TNT, it can detonate instantly, and its blast radius and damage is increased by its speed at detonation.

Obtaining

Minecarts with TNT can be retrieved by attacking them, and doing so drops them as an Minecraft:item. Minecraft:Critical hits are not applied to them, although the particles suggest otherwise.

Usage

File:TNT minecart and powered activator rail.png

When the minecart with TNT passes over the powered activator rail, it explodes after four seconds.

Template:IN, placing two minecarts with TNT on the rail and powering it (here, by flicking the lever) creates an instant explosion.

Destroying the block of gold causes the minecart with TNT to fall down and instantly explode.

A minecart with TNT detonates after a delay on these conditions:

• It moves over a powered Minecraft:activator rail.
• It is destroyed while in motion (except by a player in Creative mode).
• It is destroyed by fire, lava, or an explosion.
• It is hit by a Minecraft:fire charge projectile.
• Using a Minecraft:flint and steel, Minecraft:fire charge, or any Minecraft:item enchanted with Minecraft:Fire Aspect.Template:Only

The delay is Template:Convert for an activator rail, like the TNT block. For other causes there is a random delay between 0 and 1.95 seconds.

It detonates instantly on these conditions:

• It hits the ground with a downward velocity of it falling more than three blocks, unless landing on any form of rail.
• It turns on a curved track too fast, with a solid block or entity located beside the track (in the previous movement direction). Template:Only
• It is hit by a flaming projectile.
• It is pressed into a block or entity and has velocity.Template:Only

Upon detonation it acts as normal TNT, Minecraft:exploding and damaging nearby blocks, players, and entities. Upon detonation after activating on activator rail, it does not destroy its rails and the blocks the rail is on, however other nearby minecarts can.Template:Only More than one minecart can be placed on the same rail block, allowing many of them to fit into a single block. Template:IN they explode when they are touched, turned very fast, and dealing large amounts of damage.

Template:IN they only explode when they land on the ground and not get touched, or turned very fast.

The explosion has a base power of 4, the same as regular TNT, but the game also adds a random bonus value up to 1.5 times velocity, but no higher than 7.5. This means that with a speed of 5 or higher the power is a random value between 4 and 11.5. When triggered by an activator rail or by damage, the bonus value is calculated using the horizontal velocity of the minecart. When hit by a flaming arrow the velocity of the arrow is used instead. When triggered by fall damage, the fall distance divided by 10 is used.

Minecarts with TNT bounce off of other minecarts and cannot be linked to Minecraft:minecarts with furnaces.

Sounds

Minecarts with TNT use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group=sound name=rollsource>Template:Bug</ref>
