Oushii
by Paulem79
Oushii replaces vanilla TNT explosion raycasting with direct chunk iteration, so large detonations stop stalling the server.
What it does
Oushii is an explosion engine for TNT. Vanilla raycasting evaluates each block position one at a time, which overloads the server during large detonations. Oushii instead walks the loaded chunk sections directly and skips the collision checks that cause the slowdown, while keeping crater shapes realistic through a deterministic 3D hash. Chain explosions of large TNT no longer stall the server.
The mod is aimed at servers and singleplayer worlds that run big TNT setups, where performance mods such as Lithium still leave significant TPS drops. In the author's profiling, a 30×30×30 TNT cube of 27,000 blocks kept server performance near 19.35 TPS, against 5.93 TPS on vanilla, on a 26.2 superflat world with mobs and item entities present. Oushii is compatible with Lithium and other optimization mods, and with custom TNT mods. MidnightLib is bundled inside the mod, and Fabric API is a dependency on Fabric.
Oushii is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2.
Key features
Direct chunk iteration
Explosions walk loaded chunk sections directly instead of testing every block position with raycasts.
Collision checks skipped
The engine skips the collision checks that the vanilla algorithm performs for each affected block.
Realistic crater shapes
Crater edges are set by a deterministic 3D hash, so the shapes stay natural while the work is simplified.
Large chain explosions
Chain reactions of large TNT resolve without stalling the server, even in 27,000-block detonations.

An explosion engine for Minecraft that replaces vanilla raycasting with direct chunk iteration and simplified TNT physics. It handles large TNT chain explosions without stalling the server while preserving realistic crater shapes. In vanilla Minecraft, large TNT detonations overload the server because the default…
