If bit 0x8 is set, this fluid is "falling" and spreads only downward. At this level, the lower bits are essentially ignored, since this block is then at its highest fluid level. This level is equal to the falling lava above, equal to 8 plus the level of the non-falling lava above it.

The lower three bits are the fluid block's level. 0 is the highest fluid level (not necessarily filling the block - this depends on the neighboring fluid blocks above each upper corner of the block). Data values increase as the fluid level of the block drops: 1 is the next highest, 2 lower, on through 7, the lowest fluid level. Along a line on a flat plane, lava drops one level per meter in the Nether and two everywhere else. So in the End and Overworld, only 2, 4 and 6 are used.

If bit 0x8 is set, this fluid is "falling" and spreads only downward. At this level, the lower bits are essentially ignored, since this block is then at its highest fluid level. This level is equal to the falling water above, equal to 8 plus the level of the non-falling lava above it.

The lower three bits are the fluid block's level. 0 is the highest fluid level (not necessarily filling the block - this depends on the neighboring fluid blocks above each upper corner of the block). Data values increase as the fluid level of the block drops: 1 is the next highest, 2 lower, on through 7, the lowest fluid level. Along a line on a flat plane, water drops one level per meter.

A '''minecart with TNT''' is a block of [[TNT]] inside a [[minecart]]. Unlike normal TNT it can detonate instantly under certain conditions and its damage and blast radius is increased by its speed when it detonates.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
|Output= Minecart with TNT
|type= Transportation
|TNT|Minecart}}
Minecarts with TNT can be retrieved by attacking them, and by doing so it drops as an [[item]].

== Usage ==
[[File:TNT minecart and powered activator rail.png|thumb|right|When the TNT minecart passes over the powered activator rail, it explodes after four seconds.]]
[[File:Simple TNT minecart detonator setup.png|thumb|right|Placing two TNT minecarts on the rail and powering it (here, by flicking the lever) creates an instant explosion.]]
[[File:TNT minecart roof trap.png|thumb|right|Destroying the gold block causes the TNT minecart to fall down and instantly explode.]]

A minecart with TNT detonates after a delay on these conditions:
* It moves over a powered [[activator rail]].
* It is destroyed while in motion (except by a player in Creative mode).
* It is destroyed by fire, lava, or an explosion.
*{{IN|java}}, it is hit by a [[fire charge]].

The delay is {{convert|4|seconds|ticks}} for an activator rail, like the TNT block. For other causes there is a random delay between 0 and 1.9 seconds, but more likely to be close to 1.

It detonates instantly on these conditions:

* It hits the ground with a downward velocity of it falling more than three blocks, unless landing on any form of rail.
* It turns on a curved track too fast, with a solid block or entity located beside the track (in the previous movement direction).
* It is hit by a flaming arrow.
* It is pressed into a block or entity and has velocity.

Upon detonation it acts as normal TNT, [[exploding]] and damaging nearby blocks, players, and entities. Upon detonation after activating on activator rail, it does not destroy its rails and the blocks the rail is on, however other nearby carts can.{{only|java}} More than one minecart can be placed on the same rail block, allowing many of them to fit into a single block. They explode when touched, dealing large amounts of damage.

The explosion has a base [[Explosion#Explosion strength|power]] of 4, the same as regular TNT, but the game also adds a random bonus value up to 1.5 times velocity, but no higher than 7.5. This means that with a speed of 5 or higher the power will be a random value between 4 and 11.5. When triggered by an activator rail or by damage, the bonus value is calculated using the horizontal velocity of the minecart. When hit by a flaming arrow the velocity of the arrow is used instead. When triggered by fall damage, the fall distance divided by 10 is used.

Minecarts with TNT bounce off of other minecarts and cannot be linked to [[minecarts with furnace]]s.

== Sounds ==
