- "Jesse, don't forget! Super TNT in the middle, and gunpowder all around!"
- —Soren reminding Jesse about the crafting recipe for the Formidi-Bomb
The Formidi-Bomb, a.k.a. the "F-Bomb," is an advanced and rare version of TNT in Minecraft: Story Mode.
Appearances[]
- In "Assembly Required", The Formidi-Bomb is mentioned by The Order of the Stone. It is often confused with Super TNT, its main crafting ingredient.
- In "The Last Place You Look", Jesse crafts the Formidi-Bomb and uses it on the Wither Storm. However, it fails to destroy it completely due to the Command Block inside it.
Overview[]
Appearance[]
The Formidi-Bomb is a purple variant of TNT emblazoned with a glowing letter "F." It appears to have a Command Block-esque design on the side.
Usage[]
The Formidi-Bomb is a very dangerous item, stronger than a regular TNT block. Once crafted, there is a few seconds' delay before it detonates. While it is crafted with the intention of killing the Wither Storm, it is not strong enough to destroy the command block at its center, and only results in splitting the Wither Storm into three. It is however possible that if the command block was exposed at the time of detonation, it could've been destroyed or cracked. It's impossible to determine this, and is only a theory.

Trivia[]
- "Formidi-" is short for "formidable", which means difficult to deal with or overcome.
- Magnus and Axel call the Formidi-Bomb the "F-Bomb", which is a common euphemism for profanity.
- The Formidi-Bomb consumes the Crafting Table that is used to create it.
- Unlike TNT, once the F-Bomb is crafted, it explodes in around 10 seconds.
- This is likely due to the immense explosion power stored inside it, as well as it's connection to the command block (from the command block-esque design on the side). This likely causes it to be very unstable. The true meaning behind it is unknown, and speculation is the best we can get with why it explodes upon crafting.
- It is unknown how Soren knows this, as it is clearly stated in Episode 4 that no one has crafted the bomb before Jesse.
- Its explosion force is high enough to destroy Obsidian, so it must be higher than 300, but lower than 4,500,000.
