The tool below opens with TNT already selected: it shows the 3x3 checkerboard grid and, on the Materials tab, adds up the gunpowder and sand for whatever amount you type.
Gunpowder in the corners and center (5), sand in the middle edge slots (4). No slot can stay empty.
That is 5 gunpowder and 4 sand, 9 items. Nothing goes through a furnace, so there is no coal in the count.
The 64 TNT need 320 gunpowder and 256 sand: 5 full stacks of gunpowder and 4 of sand, no loose items.
Three tables in the official data include TNT: one archaeology table and two chests. Handy if you only need a few units.
The TNT minecart is the only recipe in the data that consumes the block as an ingredient.
It adds up what each item needs across all branches and only then rounds the number of crafts up. One log makes 4 planks; if you need 5, that is 2 logs and 3 planks left over. Leftovers show on the Materials tab and are reused by other items on your list before more raw material is requested.
It takes 5 gunpowder and 4 sand, 9 items. For 64 TNT that is 320 gunpowder and 256 sand.
A 3x3 checkerboard: gunpowder in the 4 corners and the center, sand in the 4 middle edge slots. It does not accept an empty slot.
Nine: 5 stacks of gunpowder and 4 of sand, all full. The count leaves nothing over for 64 TNT.
The official data shows its loot table returns the TNT itself, with no mining-tool tag. It is also in the enderman_holdable tag.
