Players need two base items to create a TNT in Minecraft. These are:

Sand/Red Sand x4
Gun Powder x5

Players can find Sand or Red Sand on sides of water bodies and in deserts.

Gun Powder can be difficult to find as they only spawn in Chests and drops from Creepers and Ghasts!

Combine the Two items in the Crafting Table in the manner shown above to make a TNT in Minecraft.

How to use a TNT?

Players can activate the TNT by lighting it with a Flint & Steel or with Fire/Lava. Players can also use items that are enchanted with Fire Aspect. To make a TNT activate automatically, players can use a Redstone circuit.

Once activated the TNT becomes a primed TNT which glows in white and creates an explosion after 4 seconds. This explosion blows and destroys all blocks near it (except bedrock), which can also damage or kill the player.

Players can use Redstone circuits to make traps with a TNT which blows up when stepped upon.
