DirTNT
by Fourmisain
With DirTNT installed, TNT can be set to fill holes made of dirt, sand, gravel and stone, and the mod is a Fabric tool for technology-focused and utility-minded players.
What it does
DirTNT adds Dirt TNT, a variant that fills holes when it detonates. The filling material is taken from the block set in the config, and the mod ships with Sand, Gravel, Stone and TNT entries already configured as literal blocks. Each setup is read from a dirtnt.json file that the game generates on first start, so the values can be edited there.
Fabric API is required on Minecraft 1.16 and later. Older builds need either ARRP or BRRP instead. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric across 39 release versions, 1.16 – 26.3, with 1.9.0 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Key features
Dirt TNT blast
Detonating Dirt TNT fills the crater with the block chosen in the config, leaving the terrain level.
Configurable fill blocks
The dirtnt.json file lists the blocks the explosion can fill with, and the defaults cover sand, gravel, stone and TNT.
Debug option
An enableAll debug option is available for experimenting with every block at once.
