Unlike all other blocks which have a chance of being completely destroyed and dropping nothing, ores and minerals that are destroyed by an explosion have a 100% drop rate. This means that powder kegs can be used to quickly mine out large areas of ore. Note: Only the blocks that are destroyed by the explosion itself will have the 100% drop rate. Any ore blocks that are destroyed by the falling blocks that were created from the explosion will drop nothing by default. Consecutive explosions from multiple powder kegs still destroy items that have already been dropped and are not picked up, including pieces of ore.
