TNT Voxel Playground Progression Guide

Progress from a repeatable standard-TNT baseline to one-variable comparisons, then scale chain size only after the smaller test behaves consistently.

Progression map

Advance checkpoint by checkpoint

Every stage needs a visible move-on signal.

Stage 1
1. Record a baseline
Use standard TNT, one terrain patch, a fixed count, and one trigger.
Stage 2
2. Compare a trigger
Repeat the layout with Flint and Steel and the Detonator without changing TNT count.
Stage 3
3. Compare one special TNT
Choose Paint, Cluster, Drilling, or Lava TNT and record only visible differences.
Stage 4
4. Scale the layout
Increase count or spacing gradually; do not jump straight to the advertised private-server maximum.

Decision basis

Repeat a small standard-TNT placement until timing and crater observations are consistent.

Change only TNT type or trigger, keeping terrain, count, and placement as similar as possible.

Increase TNT count only after the smaller layout works; use a free private server for higher-count experiments.

Recovery

Return to the same terrain and standard TNT, then reduce the number of changed variables.

Use standard TNT as the control and keep count, spacing, trigger, and terrain fixed.

Return to the last repeatable smaller layout and add TNT in one measured step.

Use a tool before committing resources.

Record inputs and visible outcomes.

Check whether new patches changed the advice.
