C4 Pro
by NimShade
With C4 Pro installed, players can plant a bomb on permitted blocks in a round and have teammates defuse it before the timer runs out.
What it does
C4 Pro is a Forge minigame mod that ports the bomb system of Counter-Strike 2 to Minecraft. A player holds the C4 in hand, stands on a permitted block and holds the right button for four seconds to plant it. The bomb then explodes 40 seconds later, with in-game alerts sounded throughout the countdown. Another player defuses it by using shears on the planted C4 and holding the right button for four seconds.
The C4 is an entity rather than a block, which keeps planting and defusing working the same way in every game mode. Server owners can list the blocks where C4 may be planted through the configuration, and a command removes planted C4 entities, which simplifies cleanup on a server. The mod also integrates with scoreboards: the status of each C4 is synchronized to a scoreboard, so map and server logic can read it.
C4 Pro requires Forge and is published for 1.20.1 only, with 1.6.0 as the latest file from 2026-07-25. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Planting the C4
Holding the right button for four seconds on a permitted block plants the bomb in front of the player.
Defusing with shears
Shears used on a planted C4 defuse it after a four-second hold, before the detonation timer expires.
Detonation timer
Each planted C4 explodes 40 seconds after placement, with alerts sounded throughout the countdown.
Configurable valid blocks
Only the blocks listed in the configuration accept a planted C4, so server owners control where rounds can start.
Scoreboard status
The state of each C4 is written to a scoreboard, so maps and server logic can react to it.

How it compares
CS2 Addon is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also brings Counter-Strike 2 content, released under All rights reserved and not open source; it runs on client and server, like C4 Pro. CSmain is a Forge option with files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, also All rights reserved and not open source. [TaCZ] CS+ is client-side only, covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, so the server does not need it.
