Explosive fluids should explode

[Unrepentant-Atheist]

So....I can place "fluid" tnt in the world....but it's pretty inert. Isn't it supposed to, like, go kaboom? It's a pretty unstable chemical all around.

Soooo...is this an enhancement request for "make moar boom"? Because I could get excited about an enhancement request about making moar boom.

ooooh @Unrepentant-Atheist touched the sensitive parts of @jakimfett

[mateon1]

I support! Let us have a config option controlling the boom size so I can nuke the world with liquid TNT!

[Unrepentant-Atheist]

Need moar boom! Me happy with moar boom!

[hilburn]

Also: nitroglycerine which is generally inert until it is impacted, ie an entity falls into it or drops and hits a surface

[Unrepentant-Atheist]

TNT isn't nitroglycerine. 2 different chemicals.

[hilburn]

hence "Also"

[jakimfett]

I like the idea of nitroglycerin a lot. There's already code to allow chemical reactions between fluids, I doubt it'd be a huge stretch to make it "react" when a gravity based block falls onto it, or a player/entity "jumps" into it.

[Unrepentant-Atheist]

Oh noes. v6?!?! But I wanna haf moar boom! :(

[jakimfett]

Yeah, I'm pushing this out to v6 due to how...potentially buggy/problematic doing entity/impact detection could be, and wanting to get v5 wrapped up sooner.
