This is how you can make a simple TNT gun in Minecraft. Before moving on, make sure you have the following required items.

  • 22 stone blocks
  • 1x stone slab
  • 1x bucket of water
  • 1x lever or button
  • 13x Redstone Dust
  • 4 redstone relays
  • 7x TNT (max)

If you already have these items, then without further ado, let’s start building the TNT gun in the game.

  1. First, make a U-shape on the ground using 19 stone blocks. Don’t forget to leave a gap between the structure.
  2. When finished, place 1 stone slab in the middle of the 2 stone blocks in the U-shaped hole.
  3. After that, place another stone block in the middle of the two stone blocks at the end of the U-shape. And make sure the stone block is above the ground. This can be done by first placing a stone block on the ground and then placing it on top. When you’re done, get rid of the stone block lying on the ground and that will help.
  4. Then fill in the U-shaped gap 1 with a bucket of water.
  5. And after that, place 2 stone blocks on the left side of the U-shaped hole.
  6. Then go to the end of the structure and place the lever behind the stone block above the ground. But if you have a button, then just put it on the rock below, not on the ground.
  7. Now take 8x Redstone Dust and place it on the stone blocks located on the right side of the building. And don’t put it on the last stone block next to the stone slab.
  8. Once you’ve done that, grab the redstone dust again and place it on the left side of the building. However, make sure you leave 4 stone blocks free in the middle for the Redstone Repeater.
  9. With that in mind, simply connect the lever to the red dust and place the 4 redstone relays on the loose stone blocks. Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the TNT Cannon crafting process in Minecraft.
  10. After that, click on each Redstone Repeater until it reaches the end in the opposite direction.
  11. Then take the TNT you have and place it over the stone slab. Players can do this by placing TNT on the extra wall of two stone blocks located on the left.
  12. Then place the other TNT blocks one by one until the end of the structure, but not under the stone block that is above the ground.
  13. Now just pull the lever and you’re done. If you want to lower the scope of the cannon, then turn off the cannon and fill less TNT blocks in the gap, but make sure they are connected to each other.
