[1.57] Explosive Turtles

My suggestion is to add a command to a turtle to make it blow up
turtle.explode(blast radius in blocks)
If nothing is entered, it will use the TNT blast radius

What do you think?

Sounds like a griefing tool to me. Why can't you be happy enough with the Turtle placing TNT and then activating it with a redstone signal.

EDIT:
Also could you imagine what this would do to a server.

turtle.explode(2^31)

No offence, but I think this suggestion definitely gets the "stupidest suggestion of the month" award.

Obviously it would be stupid to not put any boundaries, personally I think the max radius should be the same as TNTs.
Anyway, adding to the idea, crafting a turtle with a TNT would give a Kamikaze Turtle (or any other name) which is the only one that as the turtle.explode() function and can be enabled/disabled in the configs.
Personally I don't know how this could be used in a useful way, but I'm pretty sure some people might find this interesting.

Nah.

Feel free to make a peripheral mod for it though.

None taken, everyone gets criticism from time to time, and that's what improves things :)/>

I do, and people could probably use it in mining, clearing large spaces, adventure maps, etc.
good idea

How do you make those?

You could start by reading the sticky post in the Peripherals section.
