@@kerbodynamicx472 Mach 25 tungsten would probably disintegrate too (or lose speed so quickly that you get diminishing returns above Mach 5 or so), the only solution I see to that is somehow using a laser to flash fry the air and create a path of relative low pressure for the round to travel down. Bonus points being the round should shoot flatter while traveling down the laser path, because it should skip off the denser air below the path. Can't make that round fin stabilized, but it'll be aerodynamically stabilized by the denser air all around the path anyways.

7:01 my intuition was: "HOLD IT! That's wrong!" - only to discover, after a quick check in-game, that I also got these minor offsets. BUT the tnt entity is 0.98 blocks wide, not 0.99999998, so I doubt these offsets are caused by the entity being smaller than a block, but rather, by floating point imprecisions. (i.e. hardware limitations) Which means, you cannot optimize them away. If a difference of 1e-8 is enough to make the arrow miss the wither, you should increase the distance between tnt and arrow to decrease the x/z offset relative to total distance.

[@cubicmetre]

Notice how when I calculate the momentum given by TnT I used a value of 0.97 instead of the vale of 1.0 given on the wiki, this is because the amount of momentum transfered decreases exponentially with distance from the TnT. So to maximise efficiency you want to have the arrow as close as possible.

[@NoSubsWithContent]

@@cubicmetre I imagine you could have just increased the amount of tnt to the very edge of when it would explode outside of the water. That way you would be able to move the arrow further down and have more precision. You said that there was a lot of extra speed anyways

[@ncolyer]

@@NoSubsWithContent the power decreases exponentially not linearly, meaning you'd need to add an exponential amount of tnt to make up for the distance alterations

[@MCLooyverse]

@@cubicmetre Exponentially‽ I'd expect inverse-square law to apply. Edit: Looking on the fandom wiki, it looks like the "impact" given by an explosion is (1 - r/(2p))e, where r is distance from the explosion, p is its power, and e is the entity's "exposure" (which does not depend on distance, it seems. It is what percent of rays aimed *at* you are unobstructed, not what percent of rays pointing everywhere hit you.). So it's a linear relationship.

[@lythd]

@@MCLooyverse it would only be linear when e = 1, given this guys experience with tnt i would assume he knows what he is talking about

[@lewismassie]

Fun fact, your arrow travels at 25,000 km/h, minimum low Earth velocity orbit is 27,400 km/h. Assuming an arrow is 20 grams, it has a kinetic energy of 482 kJ, or roughly 0.58 Twinkies

@Tanmay Jain the speed of light is roughly 300 000 km/s, so 15 000 000 blocks per game tick. That arrow would cross the world from -30 000 000 to 30 000 000 in 4 ticks. I don't believe the code of java can even understand that, let alone any hardware limitation 😂

[@danielrhouck]

I’ve been thinking for a while about making a data pack which makes some blocks drop things when the SurvivesExplosion predicate is false. For example, if you blow up quartz, and it does not survive the explosion, my data pack would give sand (giving glitchless renewable sand, and mimicking actual artificial sand manufacturing). Now I have a way to take advantage of it and not just a cool but useless mechanic, so that downside is a win for me.

[@danielrhouck]

(It’d probably be easier to find a way to get a creeper to explode exactly right, or use end crystals, but having an option that makes *more* blocks fail to survive the explosion is cool.)

it would be cool if cobblestone or stone dropped gravel it when normally would not survive making an easier way to farm it than barering
