Minecraft TNT PNG
The TNT exactly as it looks in the Minecraft 26.3 inventory, as a transparent PNG. It is the render of the item itself, not a loose texture: what you see in your hand and in chests. In the creative inventory it sits in the “Redstone” tab.

Sizes and quality
The TNT render is 128 × 128 pixels, the size the game draws the item at in the inventory. It scales up by whole numbers to 1024 px with no interpolation, so the edges stay sharp.

TNT is the game's explosive. It is crafted from gunpowder and sand, and there are many ways to light it: flint and steel or a fire charge, a redstone signal, flaming arrows, fireballs, another explosion or fire spreading onto it. Try to light it while sneaking and the block catches fire instead of priming immediately.
Once lit it becomes primed TNT, an entity that falls with gravity and can be moved by water, lava, pistons and other explosions. It goes off after 4 seconds if lit by fire or redstone, but if another explosion sets it off it only takes half a second to a second and a half, which is what makes chain reactions happen.
Blocks it destroys always drop their items as if you had mined them, so it is useful for rough digging or mining. Underwater it normally breaks nothing, though Java has exceptions if you place it on soul sand or another block shorter than a full one.
Every desert pyramid holds nine under a pressure plate, and two flank a trapped chest in a secret woodland mansion room. The recipe uses sand as a nod to dynamite, which is actually a different explosive from TNT.
