 Description   

A creeper won't blow up sand which is generated at sea level. ( For example x=water, y=sand, p=creeper )

p
XYYYYYYYY

This way the sand won't blow up...

The same thing happen with TNT.

That doesn't happen anymore

Comment by Lafoog [ 02/Aug/14 ]

If this issue still affects the current version of Minecraft PE, please update the "Affected Version/s" option to reflect this.

Comment by stuartmorse [ 14/Jun/14 ]

this bug effects all version up to 0.9.0 build 4 as well

Comment by Nixinova [ 04/Jun/14 ]

Sometimes it switches between grass and dirt

Comment by Nikita Naista [ 31/May/14 ]

Is it at random? Sometimes it happened at me, when I could not destroy blocks by TNT (sandstone, netherrack, quartz etc.).

Comment by Luis Robles [ 14/Jan/14 ]

Also affects clay blocks MCPE-6492

Comment by 6walcybba [ 09/Jan/14 ]

I know that.

Comment by Galaxy_2Alex [ 09/Jan/14 ]

Jacob Canada: That's intended behavior

Comment by 6walcybba [ 09/Jan/14 ]

Creepers and TNT won't do terrain damage in water

Comment by Maarten Thijs [ 08/Dec/13 ]

I had this issue for the first time in a creative world in 0.8.0 build 8

Comment by Sammy [ 19/Jun/13 ]

The game isn't really fun without the disapontment of a creeper blowing up your house.

Comment by Luis Robles [ 06/Jun/13 ]

In 0.7.0 Creepers and TNT makes huges craters than normal :S

Comment by kevin chau [ 08/Apr/13 ]

probably it was not near or in water because it happened to me too i was just playing and creeper blew and it didnt destroy the blocks

Comment by Alexander Williams [ 07/Mar/13 ]

Was there water on the chunk?

Comment by Ewan William MacKinnon [ 07/Mar/13 ]

No this was not near water

Comment by cheetah [ 15/Feb/13 ]

This is true. I saw it. It happens with creepers and tnt

Comment by Alexander Williams [ 12/Feb/13 ]

On my second to latest comment, I meant, when there is not water nearby, it should not act as if there is, therefore, it does not work as intended

Comment by Alexander Williams [ 07/Feb/13 ]

On my map, it appears to be random. I detonated a large amount of TNT underground, and it "varporized" all the stone, diamond, iron, gold, coal,and gravel, but left all the dirt pockets alone.

Comment by Alexander Williams [ 02/Feb/13 ]

No, when the explosion is not under the water, water should not affect it.

Comment by vggg [ 02/Feb/13 ]

Works as intended. Water reduces cuts the effect of TNT and Creepers. They absorb all the explosion.

Comment by Alexander Williams [ 02/Feb/13 ]

At about 30 blocks from first bedrock, TNT seems to stop affecting gravel.

Comment by Tristan Gosselin-Hane [ 01/Feb/13 ]

Still Happens on 0.6.1 on Android 4.2.1 on both the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S.

Comment by kevin chau [ 26/Dec/12 ]

yeaaa same with me i cant destroy some dirt and others with tnt it wasnt even in water it was on land and it still not destroy it i need to destroy it with shovel takes sooo long i need it fixed!!!

Comment by Do [ 17/Nov/12 ]

MCPE-652 reports this still affects 0.5.0.

Comment by Do [ 12/Sep/12 ]

Interesting... it's about 8 1/2 minutes in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9inGCJGOmz0&t=8m30s

The creeper was up in the air, but it seems like he should have been close enough to the sand to damage it...

Comment by Chris Zeh [ 12/Sep/12 ]

I saw a video by JoePassGaming on YouTube where he was demoing v0.4 and it shows creepers not blowing up the sand around it. The creepers were not in water at the time.

Comment by Do [ 12/Sep/12 ]

Can't reproduce, would love to see video or screenshots

Comment by Will Evans [ 06/Sep/12 ]

When in water, creeper and TNT explosions do not effect any blocks around them. This is not a bug. This is how TNT cannons are made.
