Auto-Ignite

by MGC8

Auto-Ignite is a Fabric mod that lights TNT Creepers automatically, changes their fuse time and makes the TNT jump once lit, as used on many Creeper PVP servers.

FabricClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 Universal1.21 – 1.21.4

What it does

The mod ignites TNT Creepers as they spawn, so no player has to light them by hand. It was written to practice the Creeper PVP game mode, and it is also used in single-player worlds. Only the client needs the mod, since it changes behavior the player sees, and a server without it runs normally.

Fuse time is shortened by one second, and the TNT jumps when lit, which copies the way TNT acts on many Creeper PVP servers. The mod is published for Fabric only, with a single release, 1.0.0 for 1.21.4, and files cover game versions 1.21 – 1.21.4. Auto-Ignite is not open source; it is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal.
