Translations:Barrel/54/en

A minimum of 12 gunpowder is required for a small explosion, but more gunpowder can be added to increase the blast strength. A barrel with 36 gunpowder will create the same size explosion as an uncharged creeper. A barrel with 192 gunpowder (three stacks) will create a crater about 16 blocks wide. A barrel completely full of gunpowder (12 stacks) will create a crater about 40 blocks wide. Sizes will vary depending on the blocks' blast resistance and the location of the explosion.
