The bug
The 26.30.29 preview fixed MCPE-238488, restoring the smoke particles that are produced by lit TNT.
However, the particles do not match Java Edition. In Java, the particles originate at the center of the entity and move up slowly with medium spread. In Bedrock, the particles originate at the top of the entity and rise faster with very little spread. They are also smaller to compensate for the fact that they spawn at the top of the entity and don’t have time to get smaller.
How to reproduce
Place a TNT block
Use flint and steel on it
Observe the smoke particles
Repeat in Java Edition
Expected result
The two editions should match
Observed result
Bedrock’s particles are different
