There are a few ways to activate TNT in Minecraft:
1. Flint and Steel:
- Craft flint and steel: Combine a flint and an iron ingot in the crafting grid.
- Light the TNT: Equip the flint and steel and right-click on the TNT block. It will start flashing and explode after a short delay.
2. Fire:
- Direct fire: Place the TNT near fire or lava. The flames will spread to the TNT and ignite it.
- Flaming arrows: Shoot a flaming arrow at the TNT. You can enchant a bow with Flame to create flaming arrows, or light a regular arrow by shooting it through fire.
- Fire charges: Craft fire charges using charcoal, blaze powder, and gunpowder. Throw a fire charge at the TNT to ignite it.
3. Redstone:
- Redstone power: Place a redstone power source (like a lever, button, or redstone torch) next to the TNT. Activate the power source to detonate the TNT.
