Explosive cave air

When you bring in torches, soul torches, Redstone torches, or candles into some parts of the cave (not exposed to open sky, usually below y=16) with explosive cave air, it blows up. This explosion is just powerful enough to break blocks weaker than basalt but it can be deadly, bringing down players with netherite Blast Protection IV armor down to 2.5 hearts. This block can be obtained using /give but not the creative inventory so that map makers can create traps in their maps.

  This seems cool, but there should be an obvious indication that the cave has explosive gases. There should also be a way to get rid of it.

  Like in real life, there should ideally be no real way to find the explosive gases in survival, so to make it a little deadly surprise. The only way to get rid of it is to ventilate the cave (exposing it to the surface). However, it's only obvious if you are holding its item form, which the explosive gas will appear as transparent TNT blocks.
