    Now I know you're all thinking from the outset that this is bad because we can grief everything etc etc etc. What my suggestion is, though, is that we are allowed to place TNT; but if we hook it up to a redstone charge/flint&steel, it just sends a chat message or something saying we can't light it. Just thought I'd suggest this because I was hoping to use it as a decoration.

    I was also hoping that in /mine we could place TNT, but only 5 at a time.

    1: No lag
    2: Mine isn't really against griefing, so that would not be a problem.
    3: TNT MINING, :D

    I'd say that's alright as long as we couldn't light it and destroy everything. A limit on how many we could post would be good, wouldn't want a house made solely of TNT.

    In Soviet Veligrad, opinions change you.

    For the suggestion itself, I think it is too much trouble for nothing much :p

    I don't know much of coding, but I guess the warning thing, when you try to it light up, would difficult to make and not much effective, as we still could have tnt triggered with lava and maybe creepers, depending on how deep the creeper explosion plugin affects it.
    From what I know, I guess it would be easier to completely remove the explosive properties of tnt from the code, if that was right I guess that would have been the solution since the start though xD

    So, never really saw much use for tnt for decoration, I know it is possible, I have done it myself, but if you download maps, builds from the web it is very unlikely to find tnt somewhere. Again, from my view, it would require a considerable work time for little use.

    I would know how to make that with forge. Then again, that's forge xD
    But yeah I was planning to make a little military hangar or something, and thought that'd be cool to have without risking blowing up the building.

    Block damage from tnt can be blocked just like it is currently from creepers.

    Flint & Steel can't be used already, so you can't light it so there is no need for that warning.

    Coding it so that redstone will not allow it to light is another matter. Which I have the same opinion as Driver, too much work for so little gain. As well as it will be a plugin that will have to watch for every block that is activated by redstone and check to see if it's tnt and cancel the lighting of the tnt. So basically it will take up quite a few resources just to make sure something can be used as a decoration.

    As for mining, tnt mining is unpractical as well, since it destroys blocks and could potentially destroy the very ores you want to mine. It is much more suited in making huge excavation holes and tunnels, both that have little value in serious mining.
