The bug
TNT explosions cannot be blocked using a shield. When blocking while TNT explodes, the shield does not take any durability and does not protect the player from any damage. Creeper explosions, however, can be completely blocked using a shield.
Steps to reproduce
Get a shield, TNT, and flint and steel
Set gamemode to survival
Place the TNT on front of you
Activate it
Block with the shield
→ ❌ You will still take explosion damage

Can confirm. It seems like the shield doesn't block any TNT damage at all. It blocks creeper explosions though, even completely.

Explain the error further, and do not write stupid things like "Java edition because Bedrock is stupid"
