TNT + Minecart |
Minecarts with TNT cannot be directly retrieved by attacking them, as they just drop a minecart and a TNT; however the two items can be crafted back together.
Usage[edit]
A minecart with TNT detonates on these conditions:
- It moves over a powered activator rail (after a 4 second delay like the TNT block).
- It hits the ground with a downward velocity of it falling more than three blocks, unless landing on any form of rail.
- It is destroyed while in motion (except by a player in Creative mode).
- It is destroyed by fire, lava, or an explosion.
- It turns on a curved track too fast, with a solid block or entity located beside the track (in the previous movement direction).
- It is hit by a flaming arrow. (The explosion size is dependent on the speed of the arrow.)
- It is pressed into a block or entity and has velocity.
- In Java Edition, it is hit by a fire charge (after about a 2 second delay).
Upon detonation, it acts as normal TNT, 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 carts can.[Java Edition only] The faster the minecart, the more powerful the explosion. More than one minecart can be placed on the same rail block, allowing many of them to fit into a single block. They explode when touched, dealing large amounts of damage.
Minecarts with TNT bounce off of other minecarts and cannot be linked to minecarts with furnaces.
