Pyro
Pyro lets players craft and throw dynamite that ignites from a torch, campfire, lava or other heat source and explodes after a four-second fuse.
What it does
Dynamite is ignited by right-clicking with a torch, fire charge, lit campfire, lava or another active heat source, then thrown or placed. The fuse lasts 80 ticks, four seconds, and counts down whether the dynamite is held, in the air or resting on the ground. A thrown piece that lands still detonates when its fuse runs out, and dropping an ignited piece clears its lit state. Holding it too long detonates it in the inventory, which is an instant kill for the holder.
The blast has a radius of 2.5 blocks and destroys blocks inside it, and its damage reaches out 5 blocks, scaling with distance. Thrown dynamite shatters on the first block entity it contacts. The mod is available for Fabric in three release versions, 26.1 – 26.1.2, and needs Fabric API to run. LambDynamicLights - Dynamic Lights is an optional dependency. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and Pyro is open source with a public source repository.
Key features
Timed dynamite fuse
A four-second fuse counts down while the dynamite is held, in the air or on the ground, so throws can be timed.
Multiple ignition sources
Torches, fire charges, lit campfires, lava and other active heat sources ignite dynamite on right-click.
Block and entity damage
A 2.5-block blast destroys blocks, while damage reaches 5 blocks and falls off with distance.
Crafting recipe
Nine dynamite fill a grid to craft one TNT, replacing the vanilla gunpowder-and-sand recipe.

What the author says
Pyro is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 26.1 that brings hands-on pyrotechnic destruction to survival and adventure play. Throw a stick of dynamite, watch the fuse burn down, and take cover. Every explosion is physics-driven: thrown dynamite lands, sits, and detonates on its own, or goes off in your hand if you wait too…
