Punch 2 Prime

by NeRdTheNed

Punch 2 Prime restores punch-to-prime TNT, a behavior Minecraft dropped for a period in its history.

FabricForgeQuiltServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.8.9 – 1.20.2

What it does

Newly placed TNT is set to a primed-when-punched state by default, so a player can ignite it by striking it, as in older versions. The change works with a single mixin and runs only on the server, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.8.9 – 1.20.2, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.

Key features

  1. Punchable TNT by default

    Placed TNT ignites when struck, the way it did before the change Mojang made.

  2. Minimal footprint

    The change uses one mixin and sets only the default state of newly placed TNT.

  3. Server-side operation

    Only the server needs the mod, so connecting clients can be vanilla.

What the author says

Did you know that Minecraft still has punch-to-prime TNT? Thanks to Mojang's bizarre approach to legacy support, although it's unobtainable since Beta 1.7, it's never actually been removed from Minecraft (apart from a brief period between 1.13 and 1.13.1). Punch 2 Prime is a simple one-mixin mod to set the default…
