What is Gunpowder?
Gunpowder is a crafting ingredient in Minecraft known for its explosive potential. It is used to create TNT, firework rockets, splash and lingering potions, and more. Often associated with destruction and mobility, it's a favorite among redstone engineers and adventurers.
How to Obtain
Gunpowder is commonly dropped by Creepers when killed without exploding. It can also be obtained from Ghasts and Witches. Loot chests in dungeons, desert temples, or woodland mansions may also contain it. With a Looting-enchanted weapon, you can increase the drop count.
Uses and Features
Gunpowder is mainly used in crafting TNT and fireworks. It can be added to potions in a Brewing Stand to create splash or lingering potions. It's a key item for Elytra-powered flight using rockets, and for setting traps or clearing land using TNT.
