Tnt Lineblade

Quickstart

1. Gather TNT (×4), an Iron Sword, and a Blaze Rod.
2. Craft the Tnt Lineblade at a Crafting Table using the recipe below.
3. Hold the sword in your main hand and attack any entity (left-click).
4. Eight TNT blocks instantly erupt in a straight line directly in front of you — then detonate. Step back!

Overview

The Tnt Lineblade is a single-use, rare-quality sword that trades durability for raw explosive power. The moment you land a hit on any mob or player, the blade conjures a chain of eight primed TNT blocks in a straight line along the horizontal direction you are facing, then consumes itself. One swing, one devastating explosion — gone.

What It Adds

How To Use

• Equip the Tnt Lineblade in your main hand (hotbar).
• Face the direction you want the TNT chain to travel — the line always extends horizontally in front of you, regardless of vertical aim.
• Hit any entity with a left-click attack to trigger the effect.
• Eight TNT blocks appear one block apart, starting directly ahead of you and stretching out 8 blocks. A split second later they are replaced by primed (live) TNT entities that explode.
• The sword is destroyed immediately after the attack, so each crafted blade is good for exactly one use.

Abilities And Mechanics

• TNT Line: 8 blocks long, each block spaced 1 block apart along your horizontal facing direction, starting 1 block in front of you.
• Detonation sequence: The static TNT blocks appear first (giving them a brief visual presence), then are swapped for primed TNT entities that immediately explode, preventing any double-explosion stacking.
• Single-use destruction: The sword is removed from your inventory after firing — no partial uses, no durability bar to manage.
• Enchantable: The blade occupies the sword enchantment slot, so you can enchant it (e.g., Sharpness, Looting) before using it — though you only get one swing to benefit from those enchantments.
• No Creative destruction: The sword cannot break blocks in Creative mode, keeping its effect purely entity-triggered.

Progression And Strategy

• Aim carefully — the TNT line fires in the flat direction you face, so position yourself so the chain runs through as many targets as possible.
• Back up before swinging. The first TNT block spawns just 1 block in front of your feet; the blast radius will reach you if you stand still.
• Save it for high-value moments: boss encounters, tight mob clusters, or PvP ambushes. Crafting a new one each time costs TNT, an Iron Sword, and a Blaze Rod, so spend each blade wisely.
• Enchant before use: Apply Looting or Fire Aspect at an enchanting table before swinging to maximise the single use.
• Combine with terrain: Funnel mobs into a corridor, then fire the line down it for maximum coverage.
