By playing Minecraft, you can explore a vast endless world. It has different biomes, mobs, blocks, and, of course, resources. Some of them can only be found in certain places, while others are more accessible. And one of these resources is Gunpowder.
So, to get Gunpowder in Minecraft, you need to do one of these three activities:
- Looking for Chests – Exploring the world, you will find different chests. And the spawn chance of Gunpowder in Woodland Mansion, Shipwreck, Desert Temple, Dungeon, and Village chests is different. Therefore, you must check every Chest on your way.
- Mobs Hunting – This is a very easy way to get Gunpowder. And all you have to do is kill Creepers before they explode. But if they explode, they won’t leave any drops, so be careful. You can also kill Witches and Ghasts for Gunpowder. But it will take longer than finding the Creepers.
- Trading with Wandering Trader – This trader will spawn from time to time near you. And often, he can sell good items, including Gunpowder. But its assortment changes randomly every time, so it’s best to hunt Creepers.
