Intro
One day I was playing with redstone then I thought what kind of traps I could make. These traps made me think of new types of explosives. They are listed below.
- Raw Explosive
This idea is similar to redstone powder on the ground. Lined on the floor. When you like a piece of it with fire or redstone power, it triggers off the explosive in a line. The powder explodes twice before moving on to the next, placed powder (if there is one). Although, this won't exactly destroy any of the harder blocks, and the radius is low, only 1-2 blocks max. It will rarely destroy dirt. But these will hurt mobs if they are within 3 blocks of the triggered powder. Can be placed by right clicking on the ground with sulfur (or gunpowder to other people).
- Single Stick
This is basically a stick of tnt. It has the recipe of the above grid. This is a weaker form of tnt, but will NOT destroy any of the resources. It has 1/3 less of the tnt radius. It would be placed like a torch on the ground. It can be thrown, or attached on an arrow. But to throw it and to shoot it with a bow, you MUST have flint & steel in your inventory. You make the TNT stick arrow by putting an arrow and dynamite stick in the same crafting grid.
- Compound TNT
Compound TNT. This new explosive is very powerful. It blows up 2x the size of a regular block of TNT. But with this much force, you get less resources in the explosion. So you should only use this for clearing out an area.This takes 18 secs until the sparks reach the explosive. This gives you time to run away. And if you do get caught in the explosion, and survive, your legs and vision become crippled for 10 seconds. This explosive also has a chance to explode twice, but the second explosion will only be like a stick of tnt.
- Suggestions Please
I like the stick TNT and placeable gunpower, but compound TNT's effect can be made with multiple blocks of TNT. The purpose of TNT in vanilla IS to efficiently clear out a large area, so we don't need a new explosive that's sole purpose is to do it better.

True, at first I was going to make it turn any surrounding gravel/dirt outside of the explosion turn to stone or cobble stone like it's compressing the block.
The two first ones are the two new explosives I REALLY want to see in the game. IMO, monsters need to be harder, and we need more fun (explosives) to combat them with.
Obviously this is just a beginning stage of the Explosive expansion idea but i do think that the compounded tnt is a good idea. I play on faction servers so im looking at this for that. The tnt arrows would make raiding too easy. But adding effects onto TNT like fire effects would be a good idea.
