Detect which player ignites the TNT using flint and steel

How can I detect when player ignite a TNT block, using flint and steel, and identify which player it is?

I want to then show a tellraw message. I have tried creating a scoreboard that detects when a player uses a flint and steel:

/scoreboard objectives add igniteTNT
/stat.useItem.minecraft.flint_and_steel

Then running the following on a fill clock:

/execute @e[type=PrimedTnt]
/execute @p[score_igniteTNT_min=1]
/tellraw @a [{selector:"@p",color:none},{text:" has ignited a tnt!",color:red}]
/scoreboard players reset @a igniteTNT

It seems like the stat.useItem.minecraft.flint_and_steel doesn't go up when using flint and steel on a TNT block.

Best Answer

If you have a clock set up at spawn, you could check for an activated tnt in a radius.

/testfor @e[type=PrimedTnt,r=300]

This would check for primed tnt in a radius of 300 blocks, for example...

What is the correct tool to break TNT?

TNT can be broken instantly with any tool, or without a tool. However, primed TNT cannot be broken, as it is an entity, but it can be removed with the /kill command.

How do you summon primed TNT on a player?

You can create a fire charge by placing a charcoal in the center of the grid, a blaze powder to the left of it, and a gunpowder below it. Fire charges are not as efficient as flint and steel, as you lose the charge that you throw. Throwing a fire charge at the TNT will light it.

Answer 2

Firstly the /scoreboard command should be

/scoreboard objectives add igniteTNT stat.useItem.minecraft.flint_and_steel igniteTNT

Secondly, you should have a commandblock fill clock. The first command should be the command to test if a player has ignited the TNT.

/execute @p[score_igniteTNT_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /execute @e[type=PrimedTnt,r=4] ~ ~ ~ /tellraw @a ["",{"selector":"@p"},{"text":" has ignited the TNT"}]

and the second should be

/scoreboard players set @a igniteTnt 0
