Recipe for TNT

Sand can be found and dug up like any other block, especially in Desert biomes or along beaches.

Gunpowder you can get from a few different places:

  1. Creepers
    • Probably the easiest method. You have to actually kill them, not allow them to blow up by themselves
    • They have a chance of dropping up to 2 pieces of gunpowder upon death
  2. Ghasts (Nether)
    • They have a chance of dropping up to 2 pieces of gunpowder upon death.
  3. Chests
    • Gunpowder has a 1 in 12 chance of spawning in a dungeon chest, where it will appear in stacks of 1 to 4
  4. Witches
    • Witches were introduced in Minecraft Release v1.4.2
    • they have a 1 in 8 chance of dropping up to 6 pieces of gunpowder upon death
