Lazy TNT View
by foxywoxy01
Lazy TNT View is a Fabric mod that changes how TNT entities are rendered and predicted in chunks that are not loaded for a player.
What it does
The mod lets a player view TNT entities that sit in lazy chunks, the chunks the game normally stops rendering after about 80 game ticks, which is roughly 4 seconds. Without it, a client predicts the TNT movement itself and the physics can look wrong, with gravity applied in an odd way. The mod fixes that display so the TNT stays visible and its motion reads correctly.
The author built the mod mainly for testing their own orbital strike cannon, and it makes building a version of that cannon easier. Creative and spectator players can use the related chunk rules, including creativePlayersLoadChunks and the spectatorsGenerateChunks game rule, which the Carpet mod rule set also touches. Lazy TNT View is released under the MIT License, and its source code is public.
Lazy TNT View runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The files target 1.21.10 – 1.21.11 on Fabric only, and the latest file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-04-08. Fabric API is not named by the author as a requirement.
Key features
TNT in lazy chunks
TNT entities stay visible and move correctly in chunks the game would otherwise stop rendering.
Corrected client prediction

Chunk loading options
Settings such as creativePlayersLoadChunks and a lazy chunks predictions switch control how far loading reaches.
Orbital strike cannon testing
The mod helps builders check orbital strike cannon designs, which the author used as the primary reason for the mod.
