Triggering Cascading Chain Reactions Across Adjacent TNT

Laying Out the Explosive Grid

Explosives interact directly with nearby charges, allowing you to create rolling chain reactions across fields or fortifications.

1. Place an initial TNT block on the ground.

2. Place additional TNT blocks directly adjacent to each other in a line, grid, or custom trench pattern.

3. Ensure the spacing between individual TNT blocks is contiguous so the blast energy reaches each block.

Igniting the Sequence

1. Ignite the primary TNT block at the beginning of your line using a redstone signal, fire, or flint and steel.

2. Retreat to a safe vantage point.

3. The detonation of the first block will automatically ignite adjacent TNT blocks upon explosion.

4. As each subsequent block catches fire and detonates, watch the chain reaction sweep across the terrain.

Each successive explosion releases its own expanding shockwave, camera shake, and rising smoke plume, creating a continuous wall of blast effects across the target area.
