Here's an idea for another use for gunpowder. Using it on a powered minecart could instantly give the cart a burst of acceleration. Unlike fuel it wouldn't actually power the minecart for any period of time, it would just impart sudden forward momentum. All the gunpowder you put in there would be consumed instantaneously and simultaneously. You'd just right click on the cart with a stack of gunpowder, and the whole stack would be used up at once. You could use gunpowder on the cart to add speed either when unpowered or when already running on coal.
The speed boost per gunpowder would be about 1x time the normal cruising speed of a powered minecart, and would multiply proportional to how much gunpowder you put in there. So if you want a very fast trip, you could throw in ten gunpowder and watch the landscape whiz by. Or add in even more to pull off crazy jumps and other trick maneuvers. 64 gunpowder could probably launch you into the sky.
Although we're getting powered rails in the next update I doubt they'll be fast enough to launch you over a canyon. Using powered rails plus CRAZY SPEED BURSTS from gunpowder, we could make some very impressive minecart rides.

I APPROVE!
Yeah, I have yet to see a practical use for TNT. It's mostly just used for videos of people blowing up an entire biome.
That's super fun though :tongue.gif:
But... I guess. Why not?
