i did one of these witha dirt bunker ... and well .. lets say there aint much of the bunker left xD
i also dug down for about 30 blocks into the ground and jumped + placed tnt up to the top ... i gonna record that and put it on youtube in a short while
Unfortunately since the last time they did the map, someone wanted to go off on a "Lets walk this way for three hours" adventure, and so the cartographer can only do a top down shot. Still, you can make out what happened.
Wow... That is one of the most epic Minecraft cartographer pictures I have ever seen. It's really cool to see your big city/town over to the left, and then see the gigantic crater to the right. The size of the crater shows that the bomb could have taken out a really big portion of the city if it had been detonated there.
I don't know whether to commend you, or be horrified at what you have created... so I'll do both. Good work, and now I'm going to get to work on an underground bunker with iron walls 5 blocks thick.
me and my friend play on his comp dont own the game yet but well used an inventory editor and are laying out 9180 blocks of tnt X2 over so should be epic when we set it off
A 50 megaton nuke would require a cube 368x368x368, which is currently impossible. at 128 z levels, you'd have to make a cube 625x625x128, larger than 2 full chunks.
At an average of one gunpowder drop per creeper, you'd have to kill 250,000,000 creepers to create that much TNT. Let's say you killed 5 per night, with each day night cycle taking 20 minutes, it would take approximately 1,900 years.
Alright. I'm very new to minecraft, but I have already set off a 10x10x10 cube bomb. It was a surface detonation and covered about 20 meters in each direction. I have a problem saying that this is an atomic bomb. You claim that your yield was fifteen kilotons, yet I can't find anything anywhere suggesting that each of these blocks is a ton of TNT. If this is the case well bully for your, but I still want to know where you are getting these figures. Just assuming that you created a fifteen kiloton bomb does not mean that you actually did. Ultimately I just want to know what the yield of each block of TNT is worth so I may base my future bombs on said number.
I read that modern day nuclear weapons are somewhere 50 megatons. You created a fantastic hole with 15 kilotons. 50 megatons is ~45 million tons of TNT. Want to try again? :biggrin.gif:

Due to the nature of the game we have to make two assumptions.
1. That a block is one cubic meter, I believe notch said it was at some point.
as well as
2. A typical 1lb stick of TNT is a 2in by 2in by 7in block
Leading to:
1lb block of tnt is a 2in x 2in x 7in block or 28 cubic inches
meaning:
1 cubic inch of tnt is 0.0357142857 pounds
with:
61,023.7441 cubic inches in 1 cubic meter
means:
1 cubic meter of in game tnt = 2,179.41943 pounds
It might not be a true nuclear weapon, it just has the same destructive force. Heck, true nuclear weapons are measured in thier volumes based off of how many tons of TNT the explosion is equivalent to.
You have inspired me to do a 64X64X64 bomb. We shall see how long it takes before i give up and just detonate what i place. Ill be back in hours/days/weeks with updates.

HAHA. That's a great achievement! Congratulations on creating a terrifying weapon and getting publicity for it.

I don't think I need to say anything else about it.

HEY I JUST GOT AN IDEA
Testing may be at an end.
You might need to rent some cloud computing and a couple of UNI servers and number crunchers for that one.

Oh, Sorry. Wrong one. Just, um, give me a second.
YES!! I've finally posted a picture on teh interwebs!! That makes me a 'cool' person!!
TNT is 1.65g/cm^3 and as such 1X1X1M would be 1.6 Tonnes of TNT
This explosion was about 25K tonne explosion

i think the part about the server crashing should answer that
