Fill an Area with TNT

Pack a region with TNT blocks ready to detonate

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Fills a 6×6×6 region with unlit TNT blocks. They won't explode until ignited by fire, redstone, or a flint-and-steel hit. Warning: larger regions cause severe lag or crash the game — keep the area small (under 10×10×10). Ignited TNT creates massive craters; keep it far from important builds.

/fill ~ ~ ~ ~5 ~5 ~5 tnt
