What it does

The mod adds a remote detonator that sets off TNT placed within 128 blocks of the player. It depends on the HalpLibe library, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. The mod is published for Fabric in one game version, b1.7.3, and its source is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain.

Key features

  1. Remote ignition

    The detonator sets off placed TNT from up to 128 blocks away, so the player can stay clear of the blast.

  2. Steel and redstone recipe

    The remote is crafted from a steel ingot and redstone dust, tying it into ordinary survival progression.

  3. Server-side operation

    Because the mod runs on the server alone, it changes nothing on the client and works with vanilla clients.
