The mining charge is an explosive made with the express purpose of mining, as such it's commonly used to mine depth ores, since it dosen't destroy drops, before getting a pickaxe that can do the same. it has an explosion radius of about 3 blocks and explodes instantly upon being powered by redstone, while exploding it does no damage to entities.
There are two other variants of this, being the timed mining charge and the semtex mining charge, they are both timed explosives with the semtex one being stronger than the regular one and having fortune 3; meanwhile the timed mining charge does not seem to have enhanced capabilities, other than being timed and thus more convinient to use.
How to obtain
The mining charge is made using either flint, iron plates and dynamite or flint, steel plates and semtex or C-4 with the latter being the more efficent recipe making 12 of them at a time.
The timed mining charge is crafted simply using a time bomb and flint.
The semtex mining charge is instead made with sticks of semtex and duct tape.
