TNT Voxel Playground Tier List: Best TNT by Goal

Use this tier list to choose a TNT type by player goal while keeping exact power, cost, and radius claims marked as unverified.

Quick answer

Which TNT should I try first for chains, craters, color, or drilling?

There is no evidence-backed universal S/A/B ranking yet. Start with Standard TNT for a timing baseline, try Cluster for spread, Paint for a visible-effect test, Drilling for depth, and Lava TNT for its update-specific effect. Exact damage, radius, cost, and unlock requirements remain unpublished in the checked sources.

Checked date

2026-08-25

Rankings should be refreshed after codes, updates, balance changes, or repeated community reports.

Ranking criteria

Goal fit and repeatable tests

Keep terrain, placement, trigger, and TNT count fixed. Change one TNT type, then compare the visible result.

Reference notes

Official, creator, wiki, and community context

Official Roblox wording confirms names and dated features. The reviewed YouTube video confirms visible UI and terrain destruction only, not hidden stats.

Rankings

Current TNT roles—not fake power tiers

These cards are starting hypotheses for a controlled test. They are not permanent S/A rankings.

Base TNT

Timing baseline

Current pick

chain timingfirst crater

Best first test because it isolates the official four-second Flint and Steel fuse before special effects complicate the result.

Test note: Compare the same layout with Detonator only after the baseline result repeats.

Evidence note: Official description confirms TNT placement and Flint and Steel fuse behavior.

Cluster TNT

Spread experiment

Update watch

chain spreadwide terrain tests

Best current candidate when the goal is wider chain coverage, but exact spread, radius, and cost remain unverified.

Test note: Do not compare it against Paint or Drilling TNT unless the layout and trigger stay fixed.

Evidence note: Official description names Cluster TNT as a special TNT example without numeric stats.

Drilling TNT

Depth experiment

Update watch

drillingmountain tests

Best current candidate for vertical terrain tests because the name implies a drilling role, but depth and damage values are not published.

Test note: Run a small crater baseline before private-server scale tests.

Evidence note: Official description names Drilling TNT; exact mechanics need target-specific observation.

Best first baseline

Base TNT and Flint and Steel are the safest first comparison because the fuse behavior is officially described.

No farming winner yet

Do not rank farming speed yet. No verified source publishes TNT cost, income, or progression formulas.

Large-scale test boundary

Private-server 500 TNT tests are the current scale signal, but they are not a complete endgame power table.

Team combo notes

Best picks need the right goal

For this game, rank TNT by chain, crater, color, drilling, or scale goal instead of using generic unit/team language.
