i have a ton of material to clear out and can make a lot of tnt. Is it possible to permit my region to allow tnt to be used for a while?

They wont do this. If you are looking to get rid of stuff, make a lava pit, and through it all in.

actually not looking to get rid of anything. Want to keep it all but need to clear out a lot of land underground.

Mine it.

I am and have been mining it for about 1.5 months but less than 50% done.

Ask around for help. They cant just let you use tnt, if they did, it would be enabled through the whole server. there is probably 4-5 plugins disabling tnt on minetown.

Ever try donating and then opening a PE for Worldedit?

That would work, but he said he doesnt want to get rid of the stuff. With worldedit it all gets deleted. At least it did when I had it done.

Thanks madster. I didnt think about the fact that tnt off would be a whole server on or off thing.

I thought about it pokemon but i would rather clear it myself to make sure it was done the way I need tnt might be random sometimes but overall can be planned to an extent and if the stuff gets deleted then i really dont want to do it.

Hey, no problem. And if you ever need help digging out, let me know.
