      Description

      The bug

      TNT explosions cannot be blocked using a shield. When blocking while TNT explodes, the shield does not take any durability and does not protect the player from any damage. Creeper explosions, however, can be completely blocked using a shield.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Get a shield, TNT, and flint and steel
      2. Set gamemode to survival
      3. Place the TNT on front of you
      4. Activate it
      5. Block with the shield
        → You will still take explosion damage
