TNT Does Not Have 100% Drop Rate

Affects 1.16.0.55.

Confirmed Affects 1.16.0.55 Beta on Windows 10 PC

Issue is also confirmed to exist for TNT minecarts. Naturally.

We need it so badly. 😞

Affects 1.16.0.57.

This would make quarries way more viable.

Not a bug, so this doesn't belong here. Also, to the reporter, add the label vanilla-parity 🙂 

Certain parity issues are okay to post on the issue tracker. As the mods and Mega_Spud have determined, this is one of them.

Affects beta 1.16.0.61.

This works as intended, so it is not a bug, and could you please report parities to the https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/topics/360001191251-Parity . (I would think many people would vote for this issue.)

@Tony Yu clearly not. Java has 100% drop rate, unless that's being stealth reverted in 1.16... but I doubt it because the Java community would already be at Mojang's throat if that was the case. This is a major parity issue in bedrock and is officially limiting my servers ability to make concrete for large projects in particular.

@ Azarel Howard This is definitely working as intended. If you don't believe me, please go to https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Explosion.

Yes, java does indeed have a 100% drop rate, but this is bedrock, where 100% drop rate wasn't implemented.

While this may be a parity issue that doesn't fit within the issue tracker's parity guidelines (it's before Buzzy Bees), Mojang still considers this a notable enough issue that it has an ADO, meaning they're tracking it on their internal issue tracker.

Please can this be looked at. It doesn't appear to have been considered for 1.16 and it makes a huge difference to those of us that use a substantial amount of concrete.

An alternative could be to make moving blocks have a 100% drop rate (with blocks like moving netherrite blocks being indestrucible). Tile entities already have a 100% drop rate, so this change won't be hard to implement.

I also made a massive concrete maker. Hours designing and testing. I actually build one in survival, just to realize I lost almost all of the concrete I had made. I can't explain the disappointment. Mojang worry about the fundamental mechanics before cosmetics! I'd much rather have mechanical parity before all the cosmetic parity... 

While this would be a nice parity feature it is still possible to make concrete converters and tree farms using ghasts it withers.

The 100% drop rate would improve speedrunning also bc of the many tnt tactics that could be used

Affects 1.16.100.53.

Also Affects 1.16.20

The 100% drop rate is no longer on Java Edition for 1.16 and is also a programmed part of the game.

If Mojang want parity this is a major issue.

Affects 1.16.100.55 Beta.

Affects 1.16.100

affects 1.17.0.52

Isn't this a parity issue?

The issue is still affecting 1.16.200.52 and 1.16.200.53.

affects 1.17.10

Affects 1.17.0.50

STILL affects 1.17.2.0

Some blocks like pistons and signs actually have a 100% drop rate.

This happens because the drop chance for blocks destroyed by explosions is based on the power of the explosion.
drop_chance = 1 / power
 

It is possible to get 100% block drops from TNT with a behavior pack by setting its explosion power to 1. However, that significantly reduces the blast radius and the kinds of blocks it can destroy.

Affects 1.17.40.20

Still affects all the snapshots in 1.18 and there are no signs they will be adding this in the release of 1.18. This is disappointing as this will be very useful in the new update.

Affects 1.19.2

Affects 1.19.50.23 Preview.

Affects 1.19.51

Workaround is to use ghast fireballs to break at least some blocks (in this case concrete).

Still affects 1.19.73
