MCPE-35229TNT can be activated with Fire Aspect sword
Tapping on TNT with any sword enchanted with fire aspect makes the TNT activate.
Steps to Reproduce:
-enchant any sword with fire aspect
-place one TNT on the ground
-tap the TNT using the fire aspect sword (or right click in Windows 10)
-the TNT will ignite (in PE)
I've checked the wiki just in case it was an exclusive feature but nothing there says that it can be activated using a sword.
I discovered this in my survival world while decorating using TNT (great idea) and accidentally tapped it with my fire aspect sword. Then I tested it in a creative world and had the same results.

Parity issues are only valid on the bug tracker if they meet the following criteria:

- The feature behaves differently in one edition than in the other
- The parity issue was introduced in Buzzy Bees (Bedrock Edition 1.14 / Java Edition 1.15) or later and was not present before
This one does not.

This also may be a bug:MCPE-35229, although I hope that it is intentional.
That must be a secret feature. There is no way this could be a bug.
It's not mentioned in the wiki and I don't know if it was mentioned in a changelog. We shouldn't consider something as a secret feature because it could be a bug like the piston translocation. It's much better to report it to be sure.
Besides, it wouldn't make sense. Fire aspect on swords should only affect entities or mobs. TNT is a block until it is primed meaning sword enchantments should not affect it.
Lol this bug seemed to be forgotten until I rediscovered it in 1.14.0. Also, fun fact, Enchanted Books with Fire Aspect also can prime TNT (Reminds me of that one Java Edition bug where Silk Touch Books could be used to mine blocks such as Grass Blocks without a Silk Touch tool, but that’s unrelated, since that’s a Java bug)
Affects 1.16.40 and with books too.
I'm pretty sure this is intentional, but I'm not sure.
Thank you for your report!
