Aroused Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 So after a lot of thought and a lot of trying to figure out different ways to blow up TNT, I thought up an idea that would probably by far be the best. Rather than actually hitting the TNT with a torch and committing suicide or simply shooting it with a gun, how about some fuses? Fuses? Yes fuses, ones you attach directly to the TNT or to many then lay them down to reach a safe distance where you can then light the fuse with a torch. Just imagine you have TNT hidden from view just 1 layer under the ground, fuses attached to them ready to be lit when a wandering horde comes your way, or another player is camping your base and he just so happens to be sitting in the wrong spot. I've even thought up a crafting recipe, 30 Cotton, 10 Gunpowder, 1 Grain Alcohol = 60 Fuses (Each just 1 block) "Yeah you'd really need that many considering you'll be using around 8 per TNT to be at a safe distance." Delay on each block of fuse could be .5 seconds each (500 milliseconds) Oh don't forget the stack limit of 500. ;) So you best count your fuses and time it right. Maybe toss in the possibility to have fuses light multiple fuses at once so you can branch it out and blow multiple TNT at once, or even have 1 TNT light a fuse leading to another TNT. Let me know what you all think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheObserver Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 More ideas are certainly good, but you can also set off TNT using a pipe bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeastConcern Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I like fuses. I also want to have pitch-filled ditches and flaming crossbow bolts ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Grueslayer Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I love that idea. I've lost count of the number of times I sacrificed myself to blow up some rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I could see how it might be abused. Adding in a decay rate onto the fuse before it's rendered useless would help prevent hundreds of TNT traps. Decay with time or by being walked over a few times. The flaming crossbow bolt idea sounds pimp though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
