One day I was watching YouTube, and decided to watch Technoblade (RIP, dude...), and I was watching the video where TNT is summoned every 10 seconds (video shown below).

I wanted to recreate that challenge and tried this command:

/summon minecraft:tnt ~ ~ ~

...but it just summons a TNT explosion animation when it blows up. I couldn't find anything else in Minecraft or on the internet. What is the command for summoning an ignited TNT block as of 1.20.4?

You can delay the explosion by adding the fuse tag:

/summon tnt ~ ~ ~ {fuse:80}

This command will summon a lit tnt block that explodes after 4 seconds.

  • So the fuse goes down 20 every second (depending on the tick rate of the world)?

    Yes. The game runs at 20 game ticks per second. You can't change this in vanilla Minecraft.

  • Consider it noted. Nice, now I can make the overworld worse then the nether if I wanted to, lol.

To summon a TNT block through a command you can use (as Semlan Bakelsen suggested) the following:

/summon minecraft:tnt ~ ~ ~ {fuse:1}

As mentioned in this post you can use the execute command to summon a primed TNT at the player's feet:

/execute at <entity> run summon minecraft:tnt ~ ~ ~ {fuse:80}

You can use this website to create your own custom commands for different Minecraft versions.

I also found this thread on spigotmc with code snippets should you wish to dabble with that.

I haven't played Minecraft in quite some time but you could use a repeating command block to repeat the above mentioned commands every X time.
