TNT and fire are two of the most exciting things in Minecraft — the explosive red TNT block and the flickering flames. Because Minecraft is made of cubes and pixels, these are fun and easy to draw in the blocky Minecraft style. Parikshet shows you how step by step.

How to Draw Minecraft TNT and Fire Step by Step

  1. Draw the TNT block — a 3D cube (front, top, and one side face), using a ruler. Minecraft blocks are always cubes.
  2. Add the red colour band — the TNT block is red with a band around the middle.
  3. Write 'TNT' — add the white letters 'TNT' on the front face of the block, in blocky pixel letters.
  4. Add the pixel texture — Minecraft blocks have a pixelated surface, so add small squares of slightly different shades.
  5. Draw the fire — Minecraft fire is made of flat, jagged flame shapes. Draw spiky, pixelated flame shapes rising up beside or on top of the TNT.
  6. Layer the flames — orange flames at the bottom, yellow in the middle, with darker red edges, all in a jagged pixel style.
  7. Add a fuse spark (optional) — a little white spark on the TNT to show it's about to explode.
  8. Colour — red TNT with white letters, orange-yellow pixelated fire.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Keep everything blocky and pixelated — that's the Minecraft rule. The TNT is a 3D cube with the white 'TNT' letters on the front, and the fire is made of flat, jagged, pixel-style flame shapes rather than smooth realistic flames. Use a ruler for the cube edges.

🌟 Did You Know?

In Minecraft, TNT is used to blow up blocks and clear large areas quickly — but you have to run away fast after lighting it! Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 300 million copies sold, and it's famous for letting players build absolutely anything out of blocks. Real TNT is a powerful explosive used in mining and construction, handled only by trained experts.

Drawing Minecraft Style

  • Everything is cubes — TNT is a 3D block, use a ruler
  • Pixelated textures — small squares of different shades
  • Jagged pixel flames — flat, spiky, not smooth
  • Blocky letters — 'TNT' in pixel-style text
