TNT can be used to help with mining, but you need to keep in mind that it will destroy some of the resources that are released from broken blocks. It is more of aid in removing large areas quickly and not for actually mining resources.

Yes, all blocks that can be broken still have the 70% chance of being destroyed entirely. Don’t use diamonds.

Diamond mining using TNT TNT isn’t the easiest tool to get hold of, and you’re frankly unlikely to have enough of it going spare to use on diamond mining until fairly late in the game.

Yes, TNT destroys 70% of all the items that are dropped. Leaving 30% of your items remaining on the ground.

A previous change in the 1.14 snapshots fixed moving blocks having a much lower blast resistance and always dropping as items when destroyed by explosions. The latest change won’t change that, but actually lets TNT drop all blocks broken by the explosion as items, instead of only a 3rd of them.

By placing TNT, you will end up destroying the resources, so don’t risk it. However, since it will wind up destroying most dropped items, it is of no use in breaking blocks to collect their resources. I suggest trying to find some iron and then mining it otherwise you will lose those precious diamonds.

Since chests have none of these properties, your idea of TNT is probably the only way to destroy chests on command. However, given your purpose, you could probably effectively use droppers (or dispensers) instead, and have a completely reusable system with no blast shielding.

Blowing up obsidian is not possible, even with enough tnt. Obsidian has a high blast resistance, but not infinitely high, which may make you think a fair amount of tnt can ultimately blow it up. But by the way minecraft works, all TNT blocks do not explode at the same time.

Per the wiki, Bedrock has a blast resistance of 18,000,000 requiring 4,500,000 tnt.

It’s not possible to break bedrock with any amount of TNT, since bedrock has such a high blast resistance that TNT simply can barely make a dent in it, let alone overcome it completely. Bedrock has a blast resistance of 18,000,000.

Netherite is highly resistant to its environment, hence why it probably thrives in the Nether where there’s tons of heat and lava. Its source ingredient, the ancient debris, is so resistant that it can survive any explosion.

‘Bedrock Edition’ has most consistent performance If you’re not playing with a high-end computer, “Bedrock” might be your best bet. While the “Java” edition lets you use mods to enhance your graphics, the “Bedrock” version runs more smoothly more consistently. This means less dropped frames and faster load times.

As the base game (discluding controls) Bedrock is certainly easier than Java. Combat from Java was not fully ported to Bedrock (it was, but in a less frustrating way), Bedrock lacks gamemodes like Spectator and Adventure. Gameplay wise, Bedrock is harder.

The Bedrock Edition allows for cross-platform multiplayer on consoles, mobile devices, and Windows 10. The Java Edition is only for PC, and it will only allow you to play with other Java players, which is a lot more limiting.
