Bombing
Bombing lets players place primed TNT anywhere, including midair, by right-clicking with TNT in the main hand and flint and steel in the off hand.
What it does
Holding TNT in the main hand and flint and steel in the off hand, a player right-clicks to put a block of TNT in place and ignite it at once. One TNT item is consumed per block placed. The primed TNT created this way deals the same damage as TNT ignited by a normal placement. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Midair TNT placement
TNT can be placed in the air, not only on a solid surface, so a player can build an explosive where no ground exists.
Quick ignition
Holding the right items in each hand places the TNT and lights it in one action, with no separate step.
Airstrikes from flight
A player flying over a base can drop TNT from above as an airstrike, which suits a multiplayer raid.
