Fun TNT
by Nicusha
Fun TNT, a NeoForge mod by Nicusha, replaces the single vanilla explosive with a large library of specialized TNT types that each behave in their own way.
What it does
Instead of cloning the vanilla explosive, the mod adds multiple new TNT variants, each engineered with its own tactical behaviors, environmental reactions and custom mechanics. Each explosive has a custom-coded entity renderer with a high-intensity flashing effect that scales as the fuse burns, and its priming shows a swelling animation.
Redstone ignition is sensitive: the blocks use advanced neighbor-update logic, so they react immediately to direct torch placements and levers, including redstone signals that vanilla blocks miss. The mod also includes localization translations and a free sounds library with custom audio effects.
Survival play is supported by a toolkit for surgical mining, automated farming and large-scale terraforming. Recipes are themed and tied to gathering resources from the natural world. Fun TNT is published for NeoForge only, for the 26.1 – 26.3 range across five release versions, and is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed. Public links for the source code and issue tracker are available.
