By placing TNT, you will end up destroying the resources, so don’t risk it. However, since it will wind up destroying most dropped items, it is of no use in breaking blocks to collect their resources. I suggest trying to find some iron and then mining it otherwise you will lose those precious diamonds.
Chest loot[]
Nine TNT blocks occur naturally in each desert pyramid trap.
Two TNT blocks flank a trapped chest in one secret woodland mansion room.

Mobs killed by player-ignited TNT (via flint and steel or by flaming arrows) drop experience orbs as though they were killed by the player in regular combat.
Is TNT good for mining?
Although TNT mining is a quick method to gather resources, it is also the most dangerous. TNT is a very dangerous block in Minecraft; if misused, players can blow themselves up and lose all of their loot. Sometimes, TNT can even blow up some of the resource blocks, causing players to lose assets.
Unlike every other block in the Nether, ancient debris is blast resistant. This means that the block will not be destroyed when TNT explodes near it.
