up coming soon we have potatoes and carrots. two new (and super rare) crops. baked potatoes are quite a good food source. and carrots will let us control pigs.
but potatoes are just food. in real life microwaves (and i think an electric charge) will make them explode. so in heres how this would work:
what explodes?: potatoes will be able to be placed as a block that is the size of a button. (but on the ground)
how does it do this?:
potatoes WILL ONLY EXPLODE WITH REDSTONE CHARGE. no fire, explosions or anything of the sort.
also, baked potatoes cannot even be placed. they explode 0.5 seconds after charge is applied
how powerful?: the potato explosion will be VERY WEAK. it will span a 3x3x3 area and the only block destroyed will be one random block adjacent to the potato with a blast resistance equal to or lower than a dirt block. it would also do little damage and throw moving physics blocks a very short distance.
heres why you would want to:
A: its hilarious.
B: you could make a land mine that explodes quicker by having the potato beneath the pressure plate and the
TNT next to that. explosions cause TNT to explode earlier.
heres the draw back: placing and eating share a button. so having potato placing implemented will force us to eliminate potato eating. (sorry kids, you gotta cook them...)
optional ideas: after a potato explodes it will drop french fries which have the same eating value as an uncooked potato does. (but wont if this is implemented of course.)
golems and passive mobs (but not wolves or cats) will heal 2 hearts and destroy the potato if they step on it. however they will make no attempt to do so. this will allow you to heal golems without the use of potions.
Potatoes could be used as a crafting ingredient in some sort of battery (a reference to the generic potatoe powered objects), but as for making them explode... no.

the only real use is supposed to be as a quicker land mine.

That would just be a griefing tool.
Chucking explosives around everywhere...
What is this... Call o' duty?
Sorry.
