Old TNT Particles
by KillerCube
Old TNT Particles restores the explosion particles of earlier TNT, for players who miss the look of the original effect.
What it does
The mod recreates the old explosion particles so that they match the earlier versions of the effect as closely as possible. Its author built it after trying to reproduce the look from memory, and the result is a purely cosmetic change that leaves gameplay alone. Old TNT Particles works on Forge and NeoForge, and it can be installed on a client, a server or both, since neither side requires it. Files cover six game versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and the code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.

Cosmetic change only
The mod changes how explosions look and does not alter how TNT behaves or how much damage it deals.
Vanilla server compatible
Only the client needs the change to see the new particles, so it can be used on vanilla servers.

What the author says
Do you miss the old explosion particles? I do, so I tried to recreate them and I made this mod. The particles are a recreation, so they might not be exactly the same than the old particles.
