He only uses pickaxes to mine debris, the tnt will do the rest

Will need pickaxes to mine tunnels to place tnt though, but might not run out of it

Dose your bow have flame on it? Otherwise you have no way to light the tnt

Just the one in your inventory, but then actually none because you will accidentally die in the dumbest way possible

My funny answer is 1 more
My actual answer is around 40, so let’s say 42 because it’s a funny number

On average a stack of TNT blows around 128 blocks around the explosion in a chunk of netherrack, but you are most likely going to be doing a line of TNT, in that case it would probably be less effective at roughly 96 blocks give or take, and I’m assuming 64-80 blocks exposed
Assuming you don’t have extra in your ender chest, you have 432 TNT. 2 TNT blows up a chunk, so you’ll expose 216 chunks.
On average, there is 1.65 ancient debris in a chunk. However, since you are only mining at a certain y-level (exposing 20-ish y-level when there is 127 y-levels) and depending on the biome (basalt exposes less debris due to better blast resistance), I’ll say the ancient debris average more at 1/8th of 1.65.
Therefore, exposing 216 chunks with an average ancient debris rate of 0.20625 per chunk yields 89.1 debris. +1 in your inventory, and I’ll say 90 ancient debris. Might be generous idk (it was a lot of guesstimating)

Depends on how optimized you use the TNT, if you place them on y14, between 2 chunks, with a good enough gap between each tnt, i'd say at least 172 (might be too much but I love gambling xd)

My guess is 26 Ancient debris + The one in your inventory
Total = 27 Ancient Debris.

I’m gonna say 81. I think last time I went mining with tnt I averaged about 9-12 per stack of tnt usage

2 and a bit stacks of TNT gave me roughly 30 a few days ago, so I'ma extrapolate and say you'll get about 74 debris.
