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:

Actually that would be false. Due to Tsar Bomba being so destructive in power, i think the highest they will go is about thirty megatons. 50 megatons creates a shockwave that goes through the earth three times, and shatters windows thousands of miles away...of 15 kt killed a server for two hours, 50mt will lead the server to being down for well over a hundred years if its basing itself on 15 kt = 2 hours

LOL at the "Planet of the Apes" reference in the first pic. Why do I see an undetonated TNT in the second?

should have done this in the middle of a city in Pvp server. Good Times.

1. Gather friends together on smp server to create detailed hiroshima.
2. Build nuke in center
3. ???
4. Profit from screen caps of a historical recreation on a videogame.

Then after all is said and done make server PtP...... tourists will pay to see mincraft recreation of giant nuke of death

Hoooolllyyyyy craaapp!!!! That's epic man. o_O

how did u get the tnt not to spread out? server physics or commands?

if i tried to do that in singleplayer, the tnt would just spread out

OMG lol... I have only one block of TNT and i had to get it past 3 mods and at least 5 creepers!

recreated on single player .....my lord its amazing. i think im going to build a town in the crater ^^

should've secretly built a tunnel under the city, then a huge cave filled with TNT :smile.gif:

then it goes byebye :biggrin.gif:

My detonation isnt exactly 15 kilotons or anything, but i enjoyed it. Check it out.

Here:

or here:

I did the math and to recreate a tsar bomb explosion (a 50 MT explosion).
It would take 19,634,950,000,000,000,000 blocks of TNT to recreate that explosion.

Despite the mass necroposts here, I need to upgrade my nukes on my SMP server. Right now mine are like pop-rocks compared to OP.

LOL! Sexy.

now all you have to do is do it gain with a x15 nuke tnt mod :smile.gif:

Holy crap. How long did that take you?

well the biggest i've seen (this was really awesome too) has been this:

he actually pulled it off..

Biggest one I saw was 6 times that.

Time to get to work!

Wow, this thread really got around the internet :biggrin.gif:

Rereading some of the resonces theres a few things people should know about explosions.

1. How big you can get most relies on your server hardware, if it cant handle a massive load of computations, you're not going to get very far.

2. Many people dont actually do single detonations for thier large explosions, they lay it out in a blanket or extended rectangle in order to stager the explosion over a short period of time rather than an immediate burst.

3. The 30 kt bomb I talked about DID get created, however, it was so large that the server hardware couldnt handle it and it was locked away in a vault to prevent accidental detonation...I set it off when the server was changing maps to "Destroy the world" so to speak.

now replicate this, use a anti-matter bomb containing 5 pounds of anit-matter

a gram of anti-matter is roughly 43 kilotons, detonation wise

and there are roughly 454 grams in a pound

5 times 454 is 2270 grams in 5 pounds

2270x43=97610 kilotons

so this would be 6507 times stronger then this bomb, i wanna see this get done
