In a prior survival map, I had a mob farm built up in the sky that used TNT dropped into a flowing water space to kill the mobs for experience.
I can't seem to remember how I did it though. I keep blowing my mob farm up:) What I've tried that doesn't work, is a single wide, two block water channel. Over the flowing water, not the source block, I stick the tnt to a block 1 high above the water and to the side, so that the tnt is hanging above the flowing water.
I light the tnt. It drops down, but doesn't drop directly into the water below it. It seems to jump a bit to the side and rests on top of the blocks containing the water. I tried a 4x4 area of water, with two source blocks flowing in one direction. In that test, the TNT did have enough room to drop into the water and explode without hurting the surrounding blocks. But I don't recall having to use 4x4 water area last time.
So, did TNT behavior change or am I not recalling how to use TNT in water correctly?

I posted too soon. I think I just figured it out. If I place the TNT above the flowing water, but then surround the tnt on all 4 sides with blocks, and light the top, it has no choice but to drop straight down into the water.
Is that the only way the consistently get TNT to drop into a specific water block?

I'm making a mod-pack, that is like a minecraft server with mini-games, etc. It has fake players, (About 500 fake players). But I hope it ends out good, If you guys want it, keep giving me good idea's and support!

Well, tnt+ surround water = no explosion.

You can use a dispenser to place primed tnt directly into water.
