Gunpowder is an Item dropped by Creepers, Witches and Ghasts that is used to Craft TNT and brew Splash Potions. Gunpowder was added in Update 0.4.0.
Obtaining
Gunpowder can be obtained from Dungeons, Desert Temples or Village Chests. They can also be obtained by killing Creepers, who will drop 0-2 when killed. If they explode, they will not drop anything. If a Ghast is killed, it will also occasionally drop Gunpowder. Witches also have a small chance of dropping Gunpowder.
