How to Throw and Detonate Dynamite

Unlike stationary blocks that require ignition tools or redstone power, dynamite functions as an immediate projectile weapon and excavation utility.

Throwing the Projectile

Dynamite can be tossed directly from your hand toward any target area:

1. Place the dynamite in your main hand or off-hand hotbar slot.

2. Aim your crosshair at the block, mob, or terrain feature you want to blast.

3. Use the item (right-click by default) to throw the dynamite stick forward.

Managing Impact Detonation

Dynamite features an instantaneous fuse upon collision:

  • Immediate Blast: The dynamite explodes the exact moment it hits something, whether that is a solid block, an enemy, or a wall.
  • Blast Safety: Because it detonates on impact rather than after a timed delay, always maintain adequate distance from your target. Throwing dynamite at close range or against obstacles directly in front of you can cause severe blast damage to your character.
