Hello and welcome to the first edition of the TNT How-To series!

What's this series about?:
In this series, I'll be showing you how to make cool contraptions with TNT and redstone. I will be uploading about once every two days. This will all be in Vanilla.

So what's today's edition about?:
It's about Cluster Bombs! Basically, it's a simple contraption to rapidly ignite TNT from a dispenser. It goes super fast but it's a one-time use.

Okay, get to the point, how do I make one?:
It's simple and fast.

You will need:
1 x Dispenser
1 x Redstone Comparator
3 x Redstone Dust
1 x Redstone torch
And how much ever TNT you want but keep to less than 64.



Step 1.
Place the redstone comparator and right-click it once.
It will look like this:-
undefined

Step 2.
Place the 3 redstone dust as shown below.
undefined

Step 3.
Place a dispenser facing upwards like in the image.
undefined

Step 4.
Fill the dispenser with TNT but not more than 40-45 as all of them will not be able to explode.
(Do you even need an image for this? I don't think so :P)

Step 5.
Remember that redstone torch we had? Place it beside/below the redstone comparator like this. *-=WARNING=-* This will make the cluster bomb set off.
undefined

And there you have it! A one-time use simple and fast bomb which can be easily used to cause havoc.

How does this work?:
It mainly depends on the circuit which keeps repeating the tick/power sent to the dispenser. This kind of circuit is 10 times (I think) faster than a traditional circuit like this one.
undefined

The dispenser deploys the TNT with each tick and since it is facing upwards, it keeps on dispensing and the TNT collects like a massive cube. They're not bounced around because primed/ignited TNT is hollow and you can even walk through it.


That's all for this edition of the How-To TNT series! Please leave some feedback and/or suggestions for the next edition in the comments.
I appreciate any and all shiny blue rocks thrown my way.
Also, the new 'cool kid' thing is to click that red heart. I bet you wanna do it, huh?

1: build a TNT cannon
2: Add one dispenser on the end.
3: Hook it up so when the button is pressed, it activates the above mechanism and keeps putting down TNT as ammunition and stops placing just in time to fire the cluster cannon
4: Have it aimed at an enemy factions base
5: ???
6: Profit
