 Description   

Tested this Java edition bug: MC-59425 on the MCPE/win10 version. Same bug is on this version too.

If a creeper/tnt blows up on a slab, it will only blow up the block it is standing on. No other blocks will break or entities be destroyed.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Place a slab
  2. Place TNT on the slab or spawn a creeper on the slab
  3. Ignite the TNT/creeper with a flint and steel

Observed Results:
Only the slab is destroyed.

Expected Results:
The slab and surrounding blocks should be destroyed.

This is not bug. Even in alpha versions slabs are protecting terrain from destruction(tnt/creeper)

This is a bug. Explosions should break blocks including slabs.

Comment by Said Meza [ 20/Jul/18 ]

The situation that you are mentioning is not a bug. This happens in all editions of Minecraft and is even mentioned in the wiki. Creepers and TNT always never blow up anything around if they are on top of slabs or in water. Creepers also do not up anything if in cobwebs.
