How to Turn a Spear into a Handheld TNT Cannon! In Minecraft

Hello everyone, friends! It's me again, and honestly, today I'm bursting with excitement (in a good way!). I have not just an experiment for you, but a real “what if?..” kind of madness that seems to have changed my perspective on Minecraft!

Honestly — the idea came out of nowhere, like a Creeper sneaking up behind you. I was rummaging through my chests and suddenly noticed: there was an enchanted spear, and a couple of blocks away – TNT. And the first thought that popped into my head was: “What if I hit the TNT with this spear?..” Why not! If I can throw mobs across the map, why not try it with TNT?! Honestly, it was something between a scientific discovery and a desire to blow something up just for fun. I wanted to see it through — what if I'm a genius? Or maybe I'll just clear out a new basement? Either way, the experiment was worth it!

Preparing for Madness (a bit of nerves and lots of curiosity)

My plan was simpler than a wooden pickaxe recipe:

1. Grab my super spear with Knockback II.
2. Solemnly place the TNT.
3. Arm myself with a flint and steel (and hope for quick reflexes).
4. Like a true “maniac with steady hands,” wait for the “ssss” and strike the blinking block with all my might.
5. And then — the success of the experiment and the fate of the surrounding landscape were at stake.

To be honest, an inner voice whispered “you're crazy,” and my hands were trembling a bit. That dreaded sound of an impending explosion — “ssss” — always triggers my instinct to run wherever my eyes take me. But this time, curiosity truly overpowered common sense.

The Moment of Truth (or “hold my stuff if I don't come back”)

And then... I light the TNT. My heart is pounding out of my chest! Ssss... I swing and – BOOM! – hit the “powdery little guy” right on target.

Guys, I'm not kidding: it was something else! The TNT didn't just fly – it literally soared like a musical note in a note block! I've never seen anything like it in Minecraft. My dynamite traveled a decent distance – about 10-15 blocks, maybe even more – in a spectacular trajectory and exploded somewhere far away, scaring innocent sheep and possibly a couple of server neighbors. At that moment, I felt like some kind of alchemist or rocket inventor!

Results (and a ton of emotions)

In short — it really WORKS! The feeling is like you’ve become a handheld cannon yourself. Forget all those complicated redstone and obsidian setups — here, you just need the right moment and your favorite enchanted spear.

I was amazed at how much control over the situation you can get with one simple action. It's not just fun, it's genuinely thrilling and gives tons of new ideas for pranks on the server! You can troll, defend yourself, or just put on fireworks shows for your friends. I'm all for trying out such creative ideas!

My Verdict: A Must-Try Trick for Fun Seekers!

After this experiment, my eyes were glowing for another half an hour, and one thought kept running through my head: “Why didn’t I try this earlier?!” I recommend everyone to give it a shot — but please, for the sake of creativity, stay away from your builds and villagers, or it won’t just be fun for you!

So, have you tried tricks like this, or am I the only crazy experimenter? I’m waiting for your stories and records in the comments! And if you liked it — let me know, because I feel there are still plenty of explosive ideas ahead!
