Here is how you can get gunpowder in Minecraft, which you can use to craft various explosive items like TNT.
Minecraft provides players with various methods to survive, including the commonly used sword and shield. Numerous unconventional items are in the game to extend your arsenal, but using them will require a sparkle of creativity.
From the wide selection, you can use the Gunpowder to craft some bombastic items to blow your enemies away in a second. However, acquiring it can be a bit hectic. Want to know how? This guide will tell you everything about Gunpowder and how to get it.
Getting Gunpowder in Minecraft
Gunpowder is an unusual item that you can use to create explosive items, but it cannot be acquired like other materials. There are multiple ways to get the gunpowder. Here are all of them:
- Creepers: The easiest method to get gunpowder is by killing Creepers. You can wait for the night to fall and equip your sword and shield. Don’t let the Creeper explode, but keep attacking it and moving backwards so you can kill it. As it dies, you will receive a maximum of two pieces of gunpowder.
- Ghasts: Ghasts are the giant flying creatures you can find in the Nether. A battle with this creature can turn out to be deadly, so make sure to have the best armor you can craft. Wait for it to descend and then attack it, or you can timely swing your sword before the fireball hits you to parry it. Once a Ghast dies, you will get a maximum of two gunpowder.
- Witches: Witches can be found randomly exploring the lands, especially in the swampy areas. Always have a shield with you to block their spells, and by killing them, you can get a maximum of six gunpowder.
What Are Its Uses?
Gunpowder is prominently used to craft TNT, an explosive block that can be used to blow up a huge area. Additionally, you can craft fireworks and a firework star, which can be used to create sparkles in the sky or give yourself a speed boost while using Elytra.
In brewing, you can use the gunpowder to create a splash potion.
