Snowballs exploding like TNT?
I've been playing Minecraft on a server and I was using snowballs for fun. I'm not sure what happened, if it's a plugin, command or something else. The snowballs are exploding like TNT after they're shot! They also have the animation and effects of being lit on fire like a thrown Ender Charge. Why is this happening?

The server could be doing this in a number of ways. It could be using a custom Bukkit plugin, or it could be using a command block sequence.
If you want to do this in your world, you can with command blocks. Put the command execute @e[type=Snowball] ~ ~ ~ summon Fireball ~ ~ ~ on a clock, preferably a fill or setblock clock. Any snowballs in the world, wether thrown or dispensed, will be turned into fireballs. However, this won't apply to dropped items snowballs.

How do you turn snowballs into TNT?
As I found out while toying around with commands, snowballs actually have an Enchanted Tag, when thrown. These Enchantments get transferred to the snowball from the item that is thrown.How do you make a snowball do damage in Minecraft?
