The radius of a Dynamite explosion

Dynamite is the strongest of all explosives. When thrown, it explodes after five seconds, destroying a great area. Dynamite can destroy almost any block, exceptions being Dungeon Bricks, Cobalt, Mythril, Adamantite, Hellstone(Before defeating Wall of Flesh), Demon Altars, and any type of Chest (including Barrels and Trash Cans). At point blank range, dynamite causes a total of 250 damage to mobs and 500 to the player. The reason for this is that dynamite is thrown by the player, so it follows the PvP rule of player attacks doing double damage to other players.

Dynamite may be found in chests or bought from the Demolitionist.

Mining meteorites

Dynamite works exceptionally well for mining meteorites. 1-3 dynamite strategically placed will mine 80-90%, if not all, of the meteorite. This will instantly stop more Meteor heads from spawning and allow you to safely mine the remaining ore with your pickaxe.

Blast mechanics

Dynamite has a blast radius of 14 ft (7 blocks).

Blast power is not affected by intervening material, it will destroy every block and wall it can destroy within a 14 ft radius.

For instance, if lit dynamite is lodged in a small chunk of Dungeon Bricks (smaller than 7 blocks) it will still destroy the blocks on the outside of the blast radius.
