Boooom!
by AmboseTheCat
Boooom! adds explosive TNT and dynamite that can be triggered by redstone power, with explosions that can be set to affect the world around them.
What it does
The mod adds TNT and dynamite blocks that detonate when redstone power reaches them, so they can be wired into circuits, traps and automated setups. Explosions can touch surrounding blocks, which turns each detonation into a larger and more disruptive event than vanilla TNT produces. Boooom! is built around this behavior rather than around new recipes or machines.
Because the explosions can be heavy, the mod suits players who want to test destructive effects in a controlled world, such as a dummy world or a separate server kept apart from a cherished save. The author text recommends using it in that kind of space rather than in a long-running world. Boooom! runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.4 – 1.20.4, and both the server and every player need it. The files are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Redstone-triggered TNT
Explosive blocks ignite when redstone power reaches them, so they can be placed in circuits and timed setups.
Dynamite blocks
Dynamite joins the explosive blocks as an additional way to create blasts with redstone.
Explosions that reach nearby blocks
Blasts can affect blocks other than the one that was ignited, so one detonation can cause a chain of damage.
Heavy effects for test worlds
The mod's explosions are strong enough that the author recommends using them in a dummy world or server.

Use cases
Redstone traps
A redstone circuit can trigger TNT or dynamite at a chosen moment, as a trap or a timed demolition.
Test servers
Server owners can run the mod on a separate server to observe the explosions without affecting a main world.
Who it’s for: Players who build redstone circuits and want explosives that respond to power, and server owners who keep a separate world for testing destructive mechanics.
